Fragment retention coating

Fragment retention lamp manufacturer, GlassGuard, has come to the rescue of a major manufacturer of laboratory equipment following a dangerous occurrence in a hazardous area. A laboratory flask containing a volatile substance exploded whilst in use, resulting in serious and costly damage to the locality. GlassGuard provided a solution by applying its BlackBand fragment retention coating to a number of evaporating flasks. This ensured that in the event of breakage, the shattered glass would be contained and would not spread throughout sensitive laboratory areas, thus minimising the risk of both chemical contamination and injury to personnel. GlassGuard is better known for its fragment retention lamps, however the fragment retention coating can be applied to a variety of glass objects.
