Rockwell Automation 6000 Industrial Computers Technical Reference Guide - Manual (Page 15)

RAC6000 Chemical Resistance
Industrial equipment is exposed to a variety of harsh chemicals and solvents during
normal operating conditions. The RAC6000 computers are constructed of materials that
are resistant to many common factory floor chemicals. The following tables contain a
nonexclusive list of chemicals that will not attack the computer components when
mounted in a panel. These components include the front bezel, overlay, touchscreen,
screen protector, and panel gaskets. The 6181 painted aluminum bezel is rated for a
NEMA4 panel seal. The 6180 and 6181 stainless steel bezel are rated for NEMA4X
(indoor only).
6180 Chemical Resistance List
The first table contains a non-inclusive list of chemicals that have been tested on the
various exposed 6180 materials. This includes the plastic bezel, touchscreen & keypad
overlay, and panel gasket. This list has been compiled from the material vendors’ data
specifications. The stated chemical resistance has not been independently tested or
verified by Allen-Bradley.
Plastic bezel: polycarbonate, Ultem 1000 resin
Touchscreen & Keypad overlay: polyester with hard coat
Panel Gasket: Neoprene
6181 & 6185 Chemical Resistance List (painted aluminum bezel)
The second table contains a non-inclusive list of chemicals that have been tested on the
various exposed 6181 and 6185 materials. This includes the metal bezel, touchscreen or
screen protector, display window gasket, and panel gasket. This list has been compiled
from the material vendors’ data specifications. The stated chemical resistance has not
been independently tested or verified by Allen-Bradley.
Metal bezel: aluminum with two part polyurethane enamel paint
Touchscreen overlay: polyester with hard coat
Screen protector: GE Lexan MR10-112
Display window gasket: Neoprene
Panel Gasket: Poron (4701-40)
