PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

Encapsulation

First Light Technologies is pleased to offer our customers PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Encapsulation. This a value-add enhancement option may be included on most UV lamps manufactured by First Light Technologies, Inc. The addition of a thin layer of UV transmittable PTFE (.25mm) encases the full length of the lamp, including connectors, using a special heat process. After the process, the PTFE encapsulated lamp, can be used in the same equipment where a non-encapsulated lamp once sat. If the lamp is broken during installation, equipment operation or re-lamping, the components of the lamp are fully contained and the purity of the environment is not contaminated.

PTFE sleeves used by First Light Technologies, Inc. are made from pure virgin PTFE with no fillers or additives and therefore offer exceptional properties of PTFE. The major characteristic is a upper continuous working temperature of 260° C and superior resistance to UV radiation and virtually all chemicals. The UV resistance of the PTFE makes it an ideal containment material for UV Lamps as it will allow the UV radiation to permeate the PTFE without weakening or deterioration.

Applications where PTFE encapsulation will be a welcome and cost effective enhancement include Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Semi-conductor Fabrication and other applications that are ultra-sensitive to introduction of foreign and hazardous material.

BENEFITS:

• All components are contained if the lamp is broken, falls out of the fixture or is damaged in anyway making it a perfect enhancement when designing equipment for offering replacement lamps.
• PTFE encapsulation is a cost effective value-added enhancement for your customers:

• Reduces downtime and cleanup in the event of a broken or damaged lamp.

• Reduces the need for more costly safeguards.

• Reduces the Hazardous Material issues in the event of a lamp breakage.

Indium Amalgam Lamp

Features:
Increased Intensity - 254nm / 185nm; Up to 3x   UV output over standard germicidal lamps Greater Temperature Tolerance - Consistent intensity over a broad temperature range       (40°F - 104°F) Fewer UV Components Required to Maintain Germicidal Effectiveness Electronic Ballast Designed to Support the GIA Germicidal Indium Amalgam (GIA)
Amalgam Lamps
The GIA Lamp provides up to three times the output of standard low pressure lamps. The increased intensity of the Indium Amalgam Lamp allows systems to be designed with fewer UV components (i.e., lamps, ballast, quartz sleeves) while maintaining the germicidal effectiveness of the system. The GIA lamp is unique in that it is less sensitive to the varying temperature which allows lamp effectiveness to be maintained as the temperature of the medium being treated changes. First Light Technologies, Inc. strives to lead the market with innovative UV products and is excited to introduce the GIA Lamp to our OEM customers. First Light Technologies, Inc. offers Amalgam Lamps form 15mm to 33mm in diameter. Custom length configurations are available form 287mm to 1700mm in length allowing the OEM unlimited possibilities when designing new equipment. In addition First Light Technologies, Inc. Amalgam Lamps are offered with long-life coating to ensure the maximum performance of the lamp over its life. Please contact First Light Technologies, Inc. with any questions regarding your application.
