Boots

Any unsealed electrical devices mounted to a control panel or piece of electrical equipment can fall victim to the impacts of hostile environmental factors if not properly protected.

In this context, “environmental” is a very broad term, encompassing any number of possible factors, including weather conditions like rain, snow or prolonged wind and sun exposure, pressure changes from submersion in fluids or changes in altitude, contaminants such as water, ice, salt, air, dust, dirt, grease, chemicals, and even spilled beverages.

In order to protect against these threats, APM Hexseal designed and patented the very first Sealing Boot in the late 1940s and, in doing so, set the standards for the developing industry to follow.
