Safety coating is applied using Zero Gap Technology—a skin-tight, end-to-end platic coating applied directly onto the lamp, eliminating any gap between the lamp and coating for heat build up. This allows heat to easily dissipate, which eliminates the risk of shortened lamp life and degradation. If the lamp is accidentally broken, virtually all glass, mercury and phosphors are safely contained within the skin tight coating. Shat-R-Shield’s safety coating on T8 fluorescent lamps reduces light output by less than 1% and is a minimum of 16 mils thick. Includes a patented UV blocking package that blocks 97% of UV emissions from 180 to 390 nanometers and is guaranteed not to yellow, crack or flake for the rated life of the lamp. Shat-R-Shield lamps meet FDA, OSHA, CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) and Mexico Department of Agriculture, Live Stock and Rural Development standards.
