Standard Seahorse Case Features

  
  

Watertight, Airtight and Dustproof

The Neoprene perimeter O-Ring seal makes our cases completely watertight, airtight and dustproof.  Our cases are subjected to a 24 hour submersion test in order to meet this feature, and are certified MIL-STD 810F 512.4 and ingress protection codes 6,7.

  

 


Crush Resistant


Seahorse cases are manufactured to exceed MIL STDs of 400 Lbs stacking, drop test at 48



Auto-Purge System


Our cases are watertight and airtight. 
 

Seahorse cases incorporate our foolproof Auto-Purge System. Our Pressure Release Purge Valve guarantees a perfect seal by incorporating its own O-Ring under one of the latches.  You will never forget to set the valve since it automatically activates when closing the case.  Pressure is released as you open the latch. 
 
The Auto-Purge System allows for the case to function even when utilizing the Seahorse Waterproof Panel Kit .   This is a critical feature when using the panels for mounting instrumentation.


 



Non-Magnetic Without Optional Metal Locks


Seahorse SE and SX cases contain no metal and are non-magnetic except when equipped with metal locks on the latches.



 


Padlock Holes

Each case has two molded-in padlock holes to secure your valuables. Our padlock holes will accept "TSA" and most standard padlocks. There is room to easily lock and unlock them.


 


 


Accuform Foam

Accuform Foam is vertically pre-scored, high-density foam that is easily formed to provide a snug fit that protects your equipment from the abuse of your toughest adventure.  Accuform Foam in Seahorse cases is a removable, cubed matrix foam set, consisting of a layer of egg-crate foam in the lid, a thick cubed foam center and a ½” thick, high density shock absorbing foam bottom layer.


 


Padded Divider Sets    (Available only with SE520, SE720, SE920, SE1220)

Seahorse padded dividers sets consist of thickly padded, velcro lined divider “walls” that are adjustable to an infinite variety of configurations, allowing you to provide various sized compartments to protect your valuable equipment.

All Seahorse protective cases are also available empty, or with die-cut foam.


 


Rustproof

Seahorse Cases are made entirely of space age polypropylene co-polymer and PVC and ABS.  There is no metal used in manufacturing or construction of the cases that would allow rust or corrosion. 

Our cases can safely be exposed and submerged in seawater or left in the rain.  The pins for the hinges, handles and latches are all made of Acetyl resin, which offers excellent lubricity and will not be affected by extreme temperatures.  Acetyl resin will never rust or corrode.


 


Chemical Resistant

  • SE Series (HURRICANE Series) cases are molded of polypropylene co-polymer resin 
  • SX Series (EXTREME Series) with rigid PVC, and ABS.

Both versions offer excellent chemical resistance to oils, fuels and solvents.  


 


Non-Magnetic without Optional metal locks

There is no metal used in manufacture.


 


 


UV Resistant

All Seahorse cases are molded with a UV stabilizer, making them ultraviolet resistant. This will prevent the plastic from becoming brittle if left in the sun for extended periods of time.  Loss of color pigmentation is prevented by a UV protection additive used within the co-polymer.

•

Optional Seahorse Case Features

  
 


Latch Locks
You have a choice of Keyed Metal or Plastic Locks, built into the latches.

Metal locks are made entirely of chromed steel and keyed.

Plastics locks are molded of ABS resin, one of the toughest co-polymers available

Metal and Plastic Latch Locks available on all Seahorse cases


 


Panel Kits
The Seahorse Panel Kits are used when specific equipment needs to be kept protected even  when the case is open.  These two plates are made of .063 brushed aluminum and include screws, one perimeter gasket and O-Rings for the screws to  waterproof the bottom portion of  your case.

The top panel is not watertight.  Both panels can have custom cutouts machined by us according to your specifications.  The cutouts are used to install electronic readouts, buttons, switches and other control and monitoring devices.
