Clear Explosion Proof Glass Cover for Outdoor Lighting

Clear Explosion Proof Glass Cover for Outdoor Lighting

This industrial-grade Clear Explosion Proof Glass Cover is engineered for extreme environments. Mould-pressed from medium borosilicate glass and tempered for enhanced durability, it delivers outstanding impact resistance and thermal stability while maintaining 90%+ light transparency. The square design features precisely finished edges for secure sealing. Fully customizable in dimensions (100-300mm), thickness (5-12mm), and surface treatments, it’s the ideal solution for hazardous locations and demanding outdoor applications. MOQ: 500 units.

Introduction

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and municipal lighting, our explosion-proof glass cover represents the perfect synergy of material science and precision engineering. The medium borosilicate composition (SiO₂ 78% + B₂O₃ 10%) provides superior thermal shock resistance compared to conventional glass, while the tempering process multiplies its mechanical strength. Unlike typical outdoor glass solutions, this product maintains optical clarity even after years of exposure to UV radiation, chemical vapors, and extreme weather cycles.

Features

Industrial-grade medium borosilicate glass with low thermal expansion coefficient (4.5×10⁻⁶/K)
Precision mould-pressed manufacturing ensures ±0.5mm dimensional tolerance
Thermally toughened for 3× the strength of annealed glass
Multiple edge finishing options: Machine-polished, seamed, or grooved for gaskets
Custom surface treatments: Clear (standard), frosted, prismatic, or anti-reflective

Advantages
