HPRC | High Performance Resin Cases

 

HPRC cases meet and exceed the most rigorous standards of performance including those of the US Military and NATO, and are currently sold to the US Air Force.  Our cases are watertight, airtight and virtually unbreakable.  Military and everyday users agree - these cases are tough!

 

HPRC does more with less.  The high-strength patented plastic compound (TTX01® Polypropylene-Resin Compound) used in our cases allows HPRC to utilize thinner walls to deliver a 20% lighter case without compromising strength.  And our engineers have designed HPRC cases to flex at key points allowing it to absorb greater pressure on impact.  See our product demonstration videos for examples of our superior performance, including our case holding up to the weight of a truck.  Now that's strength!

 

HPRC certifications are below and also apply to hard cases sold under the Portabrace brand, which shares HPRC's advanced technology and design:

• NATO STANAG 4280 and DS 81-41 - The Stanag 4280 and Def-Stan 81-41 standards for military use are embraced by the NATO countries as the European equivalents to the MIL-SPEC certification in the United States.  Both sets of criteria subject the cases to an extensive battery of standardized endurance and quality tests designed to simulate use in extreme conditions.  HPRC Cases met and mastered challenges gauging their resistance to vibration and high impact, as well as high and low temperatures for extended periods of time.

• ATA 300 - The requirements of this test serve as the standards for shipping cases acceptable for air transport.  The tests involved with becoming ATA 300 compliant are conducted to ascertain if a shipping case will withstand the rigors of being shipped a minimum of 100 times.  ATA 300 also specifies that the case will have recessed handles that will not break during transit.

• IP 67 - The IP (Ingress Protection) rating defined in international standard IEC 60529 classifies the level of protection that is provided against the intrusion of solid objects or dust, accidental contact, and water.  The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against access to hazardous parts and the ingress of solid foreign objects.  HPRC’s rating of 6 indicates the highest level of protection – no ingress of dust, complete protection against contact.  The second digit indicates the protection of equipment against harmful ingress of water.  HPRC’s rating of 7 (out of 8) ensures that it is waterproof (up to at least 3.3 ft of submersion).  Compare vs. other brands!

• Temperature ratings of - 40 deg F to +176 deg F - Leading performer in low temperature environments.  Compare vs. other brands!
