Whether it's a particularly dusty application or harsh chemicals are needed to disinfect equipment, rough conditions are a challenge. For these applications, components need to repeatedly withstand dust, water, and chemical hazards, while also performing at peak levels. That's why IP ratings were created to rigorously test items so that you know specifically what conditions they can endure. So today we're listing some of our favorite IP-Rated industrial products, organized by category, so you can easily select some top-performers for rough applications. Let's dive into it!
