Shat-R-Shield Segues into the LED Market


Salisbury, N.C. - April 17, 2009 - Shat-R-Shield, the leading and largest manufacturer of shatter-resistant lamps and lighting products, now provides a moisture-blocking coating for LED lighting modules. Shat-R-Shield's moisture-blocking coating process is patent pending.

"Beyond the safety lighting industry, Shat-R-Shield has an extensive history of successfully applying protective coatings to a number of products," said Shat-R-Shield President Karen Ponce. "Our special coating applied to an LED lighting module shields critical electronics from the damaging effects of indoor or outdoor moisture."

LED technology is everywhere. Benefits of energy-efficiency, extended-life, shock resistance and versatility make LEDs ideal for a number of applications including streetlights, signage, automobiles and general lighting. However, LED performance can be by hindered if moisture (especially in the corrosive forms of salt water, acid rain or indoor chemicals) penetrates critical electronic components or circuitry. Shat-R-Shield provides the practical, cost-effective solution for LED protection with their clear and tough moisture-blocking coating. It reliably seals the surface of the LED module -- making it impervious to the harmful effects of moisture.
