GlassGuard Blackband® to IEC 61549 (BS EN 61549)

GlassGuard Blackband® coated fluorescent lamps offers a solution for businesses wishing to eliminate the risk of glass contamination.

A simple mishandling accident can result in thousands of glass particles being spread over a wide area causing potential contamination and even injury. GlassGuard BlackBand® fragment retention lamps eliminate these risks. They provide protection during and after installation, removal and disposal.

We provide a full range of GlassGuard BlackBand® coated Fluorescent Lamps which meet the requirements of hygiene and safety audits within the agricultural, food processing, packaging and pharmaceutical industries.

We provide a full range both T5 and T8 lamps.

The GlassGuard BlackBand® range of fluorescent lamps will provide 20,000 hours of protection, far exceeding the minimum requirement for IEC 61549 (BS EN 61549) Fragment Retention Lamp Standard.

The special tough GlassGuard® fluoropolymer coating has a maximum continuous service temperature of 200°C while retaining its mechanical properties throughout the life of the lamp. This ensures glass retention at end of lamp life which is crucial.

All GlassGuard Blackband® coated lamps will comfortably operate in IP65 fixtures due to their excellent performance at high temperatures.
