LED Lighting for Hazardous Locations

January 7, 2022

Nelson-Jameson Inc.

The Incoplas® LED Hybrid Hazloc, from Shat-R-Shield®, is a durable multi-purpose and corrosion-resistant LED lighting solution that can be used in heavy industrial applications where hazardous location lighting is required.

Features

Specifically designed to withstand moisture, dust, chemicals, salt spray, and harsh environments.
Uses thermally conductive engineered polymers to extract heat away from the light source and offer consistent heat dissipation.
Significant weight reduction over comparable aluminum fixtures.
Multiple mounting options to choose from.

Six different mounting options for hazardous location LED lights: Flood, Pendant, Surface, Trunnion, Stanchion, and Adjustable Wall Pack.

Identify Class & Division for your Application

Class 1: Flammable Gases and Liquids

Division 2: The hazardous atmosphere is only available infrequently (i.e. in case of spill). Groups A, B, C, D: Includes acetylene, hydrogen and similar gases to it, plus common flammable substances such as butane, gasoline, natural gas and propane.

Class 2: Dust

Division 2: The hazardous atmosphere is only available infrequently (i.e. in case of spill). Groups F, G: Group F contains dusts consisting of or containing carbon or its compounds (i.e. coal), and Group G dusts are non-conductive dusts (i.e. grain, wood or plastic).

Class 3: Fibers or Flyings

Contains easily ignitable fibers or flyings, but the concentration of those fibers or flyings are not suspending in the air in such quantities that would produce ignitable mixtures.

Chemical Resistance

The Hybrid LED fixture is uniquely made completely of non-metal materials, except the Stainless Steel 316 screws, to hold up to the harshest environments. The housing is made of a specially compounded thermally conductive polycarbonate resin, which allows for excellent heat transfer and eliminates the typical aluminum housing, which has coatings that are highly receptive to corrosion and degradation.

In general, the Hybrid fixture has good resistance to water, organic and inorganic acids, neutral and acid salts, and aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons. Alkalines, amines, ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons attack polycarbonate.
