Clear Heat Shrinkable Tube Manufacturer

The exceptional difference to FEP is that whilst the maximum continuous working temperature is 200°C, the shrinking temperature is only 110°C.Used initially for UV lamps in electronic fly killers, and subsequently for white lights, FEP has proved to be the ultimate coating material for shatterproofing lamps for this application. It allows glass and mercury to be safely contained when breakage occurs, yet does not become degraded by the heat or UV emitted by the lamps.

FORBEST FEP safety coated shatterproof lamps are used where a glass free area is required:

      Schools and Colleges

       Public spaces

 Hotels and Restaurants

 Warehousing and storage

 Food processing plants

Food preparation and display areas

 Supermarkets

 Bakeries

 Pharmaceutical plants

 Medical centres, Dentists and hospitals

 Leisure centres and swimming pools

Agricultural Industry

 Stables and Liveries

We manufacture heat shrinkable FEP to cover lamps and are able to cover virtually all lamp configurations, including straight, compact, circline (circular), and tight U-bend styles.

We offer a fast and flexible shatterproof lamp coating service for virtually all styles of UVA, UVC and fluorescent lamps.

Small and large batches of lamps can be shatterproofed quickly to meet the demands of our customers, and we pride ourselves on the flexibility of the service offered.

We also supply against scheduled call off orders and will hold a stock of our customer's shatterproofed lamps. This enables you to offer your customers an excellent level of customer service.

Standard lamp sizes

T5, T8, T10 and T12 - UVA, UVC and Triphosphur

Compact U type (Linx, PLL)

Circline 

The coating material is FEP and the thickness is compliant with the ‘fragment retention lamp standard’ IEC/BS EN 61549.

FEP is both transparent to UVA and UVC light and totally resistant to it, as well as being temperature resistant. Therefore, it makes an excellent material for shatterproofing UVA and UVC lamps used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where glass free areas are required.

The FEP coating will outlast the specified life span of the lamp, where other inferior plastic coverings enbrittle or discolour under the effect of the UV radiation. If the lamp suffers damage the glass, etc. is contained in the shrunk on jacket.

Loss of UVA and UVC light is much less than with other polymer coatings. For our usual shatterproof lamp coatings, loss of UVA is around 4% and UVC is 11%. We know of no other suitable flexible coatings that provide less loss of UV.

It is recommended that lamps are changed after the manufacturer's specified working hours as the output does deteriorate over time.

Due to the unique properties of FEP this coating will not discolour and become brittle due to the absorption of UV radiation, which is a common problem with lesser quality coatings. The UV transmission rate remains high at approx. 97% for UVA and approx. 85% for UVC, thereby ensuring you have maximum performance for the lifetime of the lamp. The coatings are compliant to IEC/BS EN 61549 for ‘fragment retention lamps.’

FEP heat shrinkable sleeves and boots have been developed specifically to enable distributors, stockists, and large users of lamps to be able to make their lamps shatterproof very easily in their own premises in small or large quantities. The bespoke process equipment is minimal, and coating can be applied with virtually no training to unskilled personnel.

This coating can be applied to all configurations of lamps.

Direct cost saving - more profit & added value 

 The cost of lamps coated in house are lower than lamps purchased coated.

 The base lamp can be bought in volume at low prices, and in various sizes & lengths, but normally only two diameters of FORBEST are necessary, and simply cut to the length of the lamp.

 The labour cost of coating lamps with FORBEST is very low as it is a quick, simple & safe process.

Huge savings on stocking, logistics & space

Duplicated lamp stocking is avoided.

 Lamps do not have to travel to & from lamp coating plants.

 Only lamps for immediate delivery or use need to be coated.

 FORBEST is light & more compact than lamps & does not take up valuable storage space.

 Faster delivery from you to your customer. No waiting for lamps to be coated or supplied. Just coat the lamps you need while packing for despatch.

No additional transport costs & delays

If you have been sending lamps out for coating then the delay and cost of the transport is eliminated.

Cover ANY manufacturers’ lamps

You are not restricted to any manufacturer of choice or specification by the lamp coater. Mixtures of lamp types can be coated at the same time.

UV and incandescent can be successfully coated

FORBEST has been used for over 10 years for coating UV (insect lamps and sterilisation lamps) and linear incandescent lamps with no degradation.

Very simple coating process

The coating process developed by Adtech Polymer is very simple, low cost & safe. It does not involve hot air ovens, conveyors or hot air guns. However, these can be used to apply the coating if preferred. Lamps can be identified with your own labels for repeat orders.
