From April 15 to 19, 2026, the 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) was held at the Pazhou Exhibition Center in Guangzhou. KeXin New Materials showcased its full range of protective cases, with a special focus on the Series 8 large-capacity cases, Series 6 ABS professional cases, and the newly launched injection-molded case product line.

During the exhibition, KeXin's booth attracted numerous professional buyers from over 20 countries and regions across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. Customers showed strong interest in KeXin's IP67 protection rating, military-grade impact resistance, and rich customization options, with many placing orders or reaching strategic cooperation intentions on-site.

"The Canton Fair is an important window for us to showcase Chinese manufacturing strength," said the International Trade Manager. "Through face-to-face communication, we gained a deeper understanding of customer needs in different markets. For example, European customers focus more on environmental certifications and lightweight design, while Middle Eastern customers prioritize heat resistance and dust protection."

In addition to product displays, KeXin released its 2026 new product roadmap, including upcoming smart IoT protective cases, carbon fiber composite high-end cases, and portable cases specially designed for the drone industry. The company plans to participate in the Cologne International Hardware Fair in Germany and CES in Las Vegas in the second half of the year.

This Canton Fair visit further strengthened KeXin's brand influence in the global protective case market and laid a solid foundation for achieving the annual foreign trade growth target.

When selecting a protective case, the material is a key factor that determines performance, price, and applicable scenarios. The two mainstream protective case materials on the market today are PP (Polypropylene) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). Understanding their differences will help you make the most suitable choice.

PP protective cases offer excellent chemical resistance, withstanding most acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents; good electrical insulation, suitable for electronic instruments; low density and lightweight for easy carrying; and outstanding low-temperature performance, maintaining toughness even at -20°C or lower. KeXin's Series 1, 2, 7, and 8 mainly use PP material, ideal for outdoor operations, logistics transportation, and military equipment.

ABS protective cases are known for high hardness, gloss, and impact resistance. ABS has a smooth surface that is easy to paint, plate, or silk-screen print with logos, giving a more business-like appearance; it also has good dimensional stability and is less prone to deformation. KeXin's Series 6 uses ABS material and is widely used for photography equipment, medical devices, and precision instruments.

How to choose? If your use environment is harsh, requiring frequent outdoor carrying, chemical contact, or low-temperature use, PP material is recommended. If mainly for indoor storage, business display, or where appearance is important, ABS is the better choice. KeXin also offers PP+ABS composite solutions that combine the advantages of both materials.

Regardless of material choice, KeXin recommends customers fully consider equipment size, weight, protection rating requirements, budget, and whether custom foam inserts are needed before purchasing. Free samples are available for real-world testing upon request.

The IP code (Ingress Protection Rating) is an international standard defined in IEC 60529 by the International Electrotechnical Commission to classify the protection provided by electrical equipment enclosures. In the protective case industry, IP67 is one of the most common and most frequently asked-about protection ratings.

The IP code consists of two digits. The first digit indicates dust protection level, ranging from 0 to 6, with higher numbers meaning better dust protection. Level 6 is the highest, meaning complete protection against dust ingress. The second digit indicates water protection level, ranging from 0 to 9. Level 7 means the device can be immersed in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes under specified conditions without harmful effects.

To achieve IP67 rating, protective cases require precision design in multiple aspects: a high-elasticity silicone sealing gasket between lid and body that forms even pressure when closed; a locking system providing sufficient force to fully compress the gasket; waterproof and aging-resistant case materials; and waterproof treatment of all interfaces, vents, and valves.

All KeXin protective case products are IP67 certified. In practice, IP67 cases are ideal for outdoor photography equipment, underwater device transport, desert or high-dust environments, medical emergency equipment storage, and military communication gear.

Please note that IP67 certification is tested under laboratory standard conditions. Actual waterproof performance may be affected by gasket aging, case damage, or improper use. KeXin recommends users regularly inspect gaskets and avoid prolonged immersion beyond the rated depth to ensure optimal protection.

As global manufacturing upgrades and new application scenarios continue to emerge, the protective case industry is undergoing an important transformation from standardization toward intelligence and customization. In 2026, several major trends will profoundly affect the industry landscape.

Smart Monitoring: While traditional protective cases mainly provide physical protection, new-generation smart cases are beginning to integrate temperature and humidity sensors, GPS positioning modules, vibration alarms, and opening reminders. Users can view internal environment status and device location in real-time via mobile apps, and receive immediate alerts if the case suffers abnormal impact or unauthorized opening. KeXin's IoT protective case series is expected to launch in Q4 2026.

Customized Design: From simple logo printing to complex CNC foam insert machining, panel cutouts, trolley and wheel integration, and color customization, customer demand for personalization is growing. KeXin has a complete custom production line capable of delivering samples within 2 weeks to meet small-batch, multi-variety customization needs.

Eco-friendly Materials: Under carbon-reduction goals and increasingly strict global environmental regulations, recyclable and low-carbon-footprint materials have become R&D hotspots. KeXin is testing bio-based PP materials and recycled ABS materials, aiming to reduce product carbon emissions without compromising performance.

Lightweight and High Strength: Aviation, outdoor photography, and emergency rescue fields are increasingly sensitive to case weight. Through material formula optimization and structural simulation design, KeXin's new-generation products have reduced weight by an average of 12% while maintaining equivalent impact resistance.

Looking ahead, KeXin will continue to invest in R&D, customer-oriented, to drive protective case products toward smarter, greener, and more professional development.

Choosing the right protective case size is the primary consideration. A case that is too large allows equipment to move around and increases collision risk; a case that is too small cannot accommodate the device or necessary accessories. KeXin recommends evaluating the following dimensions when selecting a size.

Measure Equipment Dimensions: First accurately measure the length, width, and height of the equipment to be stored. Use a soft tape to measure the widest points, including protrusions such as knobs, ports, and antennas. Leave buffer space, typically at least 2-3 cm of foam thickness around the device.

Consider Accessories: In addition to the main device, consider chargers, cables, batteries, manuals, and spare parts. If there are many accessories, choose one size larger than the main device requires, or use a layered foam insert design.

Evaluate Transportation Method: Different transportation methods have different size and weight restrictions. Airline carry-on cases must meet airline size regulations; logistics transport must consider stacking stability and shipping costs; outdoor hiking requires lightweight and compact models.

Internal vs External Dimensions: KeXin product specifications list both internal and external dimensions. Internal dimensions determine the size of equipment that can fit; external dimensions determine space occupation and transportation compatibility. Always use internal dimensions as the selection standard.

Custom Foam Inserts: For irregularly shaped or high-value equipment, choose protective cases with custom foam inserts. KeXin offers CNC foam customization services to precisely fit equipment contours for optimal protection.

If you still have questions about size selection, please contact the KeXin customer service team. We will provide professional advice based on your equipment photos and usage scenarios.
