Introduction
Designed to protect lighting systems in the most demanding industrial settings, our Explosion Proof Well Glass Dome combines advanced material science with robust engineering. The borosilicate glass construction provides superior resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, while the mould-pressed manufacturing ensures uniform thickness and structural integrity. The domed shape enhances structural strength, and the flanged base allows for airtight sealing with gaskets or clamps, making it perfect for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
