| Changing
fluorescent tubes is never easy - they are long,
fragile and unwieldy and the sockets for the tube
pins are small and awkward to locate.
If
dropped, a tube will shatter, scattering shards of
glass, toxic phosphor powders and mercury over a
wide area. A simple mishandling accident can often
have disastrous results, which are expensive to
correct.
Locations
where food, packaging materials or other sensitive
goods are manufactured, packed, processed or
displayed are especially vulnerable to this
contamination. Factories, kitchens, warehouses,
shops, hospitals, offices, sports and leisure
halls, laboratories, nurseries and even in the
home (the list is endless) are all potential risk
areas from broken glass and other harmful
substances |
| The
whole range of fluorescent tubes from standard
white to the specialist tubes used for
display and other technically demanding areas are
now available with Creaco Safebreak® protection
- a tough covering of clear plastic applied under
factory controlled conditions.
Should
the tube shatter, Creaco Safebreak® absorbs
the implosion and traps the glass fragments, the
phosphor cloud and the metallic mercury, thus
preventing widespread contamination. The resulting
'snake' is then disposed of easily without the
aggravation normally associated with fluorescent
tube disposal.
Creaco
Safebreak® is the most effective
fluorescent tube protection method available. The
tube is safe from the moment it enters your
premises to the end of its useful life. The light
output is higher than alternative methods and the
cost is significantly lower.
Quality audits from major retail groups, HSE,
and other authoritative
bodies recognize Creaco Safebreak® as
a most effective solution for fluorescent tube
protection for glass free factories. |
