Shat-R-Shield's history dates back to the late 1960s, when Jim Nolan co-founded a company that provided plastic-coating services. Initially named Incoplas, the company was involved in coating a variety of items -- from fence post parts to computer bus bars. The early business developed an expertise in coating with nylon, epoxy, vinyl and other plastic materials.

After many months of research and testing, Shat-R-Shield introduced the first plastic-coated, shatterproof fluorescent lamp in 1976, and with that arrival, the protective lighting industry began.

Today Shat-R-Shield provides a full line of shatter-resistant lamps and lighting products that include: fluorescents, incandescents, compact fluorescents, HIDs (high intensity discharge), black lights, germicidals, gold lamps, glow lamps and globes.

If a Shat-R-Shield lamp is accidentally broken, virtually all glass, phosphors and mercury are safely contained within the clear and tough, skin-tight plastic coating.

Shat-R-Shield lamps are UL-EPH (environmental and public health) classified, NSF certified, USDA approved, and meet FDA, OSHA, CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) and Mexico Agricultural Department regulations.

Currently, millions of Shat-R-Shield lamps and lighting products are on-the-job world-wide for a wide variety of industries seeking the ultimate, cost-efficient worksite protection.
