Information

IP certification

IP is the international classification for water resistance of electronics. Water resistance is not the only aspect which is tested by the IP test, contact and ingress of objects is tested as well. An IP-code exists of ‘IP’ followed up by two digits. The first digit is the degree of protection for contact and ingress of objects. The second digit displays the grade of protection against liquid ingression.

The classification for protection against contact and ingress of objects starts with protection against objects larger than 50mm and a product is fully protected against ingress of dust with a rating of six. The resistance against water is indexed from zero to nine. A product is protected against dripping water with a rating of one and a rating of nine means protection  against powerful high temperature water jets.

Automatic Metaflex doors are IP 65 classified.

The Metaflex controller is IP 65 classified. So, the controller is fully protected against dust and water from a water jet. Technically, the controller can resist a volume of 12,5 liters water per minute. Therefore the door system can be cleaned smoothly.

Not just the controller is protected against water damage. By using stainless steel, the complete door system is water proof. Besides that, Metaflex door systems are also watertight. A closed doors will not leak any water when it is sprayed with a water jet.

Metaflex’ doors are finished completely smooth. Therefore the doors can be cleaned effectively and will not hold any water after cleaning. Read more about our hygienic doors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Water-resistant doors are designed to withstand direct and prolonged contact with water without degrading. They use special materials, seals and construction techniques that prevent water ingress and ensure long-term performance in wet or humid environments.

Water-resistant doors are typically used in areas exposed to moisture, such as washdown zones, kitchens in food processing facilities, laboratories, shower areas, industrial plants and outdoor loading zones where water exposure is frequent.

Water-resistant doors have smooth, non-porous surfaces that are easy to clean and do not trap dirt or moisture. This reduces the risk of mould, corrosion and bacterial growth, supporting hygiene and lowering maintenance effort in sensitive environments.

Water-resistant doors are often constructed with stainless steel, coated metals or engineered polymers. These materials resist rust, swelling and degradation even when exposed to frequent washing, high pressure cleaning or humid conditions.

An IP65 rating means that the door system is fully protected against dust and resistant to water jets from any direction. For water-resistant doors, this indicates suitability for washdown areas and environments where frequent cleaning with water is required, without compromising the reliability of the door components.

Yes. Water-resistant doors can be supplied with automatic sliding or swing door operators. Automatic operation improves workflow, accessibility and hands-free movement in environments such as food processing, laboratories and manufacturing spaces.
