Gold Shields: Effective Photoresist Protection
A specially formulated, reusable protective shield (sleeve) that, placed over any cool-white fluorescent tube, holds back all light up to 530 nanometers. It affords better protection for common semiconductor photoresists and certain other photo emulsions than do the standard gold fluorescent tubes—and yet gives a "whiter" light and up to 50% more illumination.

High Impact Strength; Thermal Stability
RESISTGARD® is made of dye-impregnated polycarbonate, a high-molecular-weight, low-crystalline engineered thermoplastic, having exceptionally high impact strength over a wide temperature range. Polycarbonates are noted for their excellent combination of toughness, heat and flame resistance and dimensional stability. Generally, they are unaffected by grease, oils, and acids. Polycarbonate tubes are approved by OSHA as a safe covering for fluorescent tubes.

NEW: Pre-covered T8 and T12 sealed lamp/shield units. Reduces installation labor, provides personnel and environmental protection during disposal by sealing in fluorescent coating materials and mercury vapor present in all fluorescent tubes. In addition, the sealed tube eliminates the expensive cleanup required if a tube were dropped or broken in the cleanroom. The lightshield is guaranteed for the life of the lamp sealed inside.

Long Life
Actual aging tests of RESISTGARD® over fluorescent tubes have shown there is no apparent deterioration or darkening of the sleeve over an 8-year life. Guaranteed, in proper use, for five years.

SIZES AVAILABLE: T5, T8 and T12 lamp diameters. All standard foriegn and domestic lamp lengths.
Special sizes are available upon request.

LIFE EXPECTANCY: 8 years or more without crazing or discoloring. Includes a limited 5-year guarantee.

MAINTENANCE:
Washes with plain soap and water
The RESISTGARD® Lamps and Shields are specially formulated to insure perfect uniformity with maximum illumination. RESISTGARD® Polypropylene ends caps allow mental lamp ends to be exposed for a perfect fit even in tandem fixtures.
