What is the level of impermeability of a ZARGES container?
There are various degrees of impermeability and these are sub-divided into IP protection categories. The degree of protection is designated by means of a 2-digit value. The first digit denotes the degree of protection against the ingress of solid substances, the second digit gives the degree of protection against the ingress of water. Depending on the product line, there are containers offering protection against water spray IP 54 (K470), protection against water jets IP 65 (Mitraset or K 470 IP 65) as well as immersion-proof or moisture vapour proof containers IP 67 (K475, P472).
