Shatterproof

LED T8 full glass tube with shatterproof coating.

Full glass tube coated for fragment retention. Our non-foodsafe coating is IEC 61549 compliant and can also be used for long life lamps is recognisable by a dual green band.

Crompton shatterproof tubes are full glass tubes coated in a special material with the sole purpose of fragment retention.

A glass tube breakage can put a costly stop to production, as well as obvious health risks that fragments can create.

A common misconception is that the glass tube itself is shatterproof, when in fact it is the sleeve acting as an aid to glass retention.

The material is either extruded or heat shrunk to a fluorescent lamp, acting as a glass collector should the lamp itself shatter.
