Because the box will be in direct contact with your potting compound, review the manufacturer's chemical resistance guidance: acetone, ketones, ethers, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, thread locking compounds, cutting or tapping fluid, water detection and anti-seize pastes, strong solvents and some greases and oils can damage the plastic.
