The Abtech BPG range of GRP hazardous area enclosures are manufactured in glass reinforced polyester and are also suitable for LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) applications. GRP enclosures provides excellent mechanical strength and life expectancy for superior junction box performance.

Abtech BPG enclosures have many features which lend itself to a whole host of applications including both industrial and hazardous area junction boxes, OEM applications, fire protection systems, tunnel wiring etc. The BPG range can be customised and is also available carbon loaded - reducing the risk of spark from static build up.

Hazardous Area Zones Classification

Zone 1 - where flammable atmosphere is likely to occur during normal operation.
Zone 2 - where flammable atmosphere is not likely to occur during normal operation and if it does will only exist for short period of time, typically less than 10 hours per year.
