LAMP MATERIAL INFORMATION SHEET

I. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

Type:T5 lamp series

Company Add: Po Box 246, Ambler, PA, 19002

II. LAMP MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS

Glass & Metal

The glass tube used in T5 straight tube lamps are manufactured from none- lead glass .

The cathodes in the lamps are made of tungsten, The tungsten coil is covered by emission

material. The emission material consists of triple carbonate,ZrO , 5% Nitrocellulose Butyl

acetate, Butyl acetate in the tube in quantity of 1-10 mg/lamp depending on types. The

pins at the end of each cap are made of copper alloy, which contain 3.8% lead by weight.

None of these materials would present a potential hazard in the event of breakage of the

lamp, aside from the obvious ones due to broken glass.

The fluorescent product line uses two different phosphor systems. One phosphor system

uses calcium chloro-fluoro-phosphate, with small amounts (less than 1-2% by weight the

phosphor) of antimony and manganese. The second phosphor system uses a mixture of

rare earth elements such as yttrium, Europium, Cerium, Terbium as either an oxide or as a

phosphate, aluminate. These phosphors produce better lamp efficiency and color rendition.

The phosphor components may vary slightly depending on the color of the lamp(cool

white, day light, etc.). Normally a 0.625 inch diameter (T5) fluorescent lamp has

approximately 1.2-2.8 grams of the phosphor in it. It depends on the type.

Mercury is present in small amounts in all fluorescent lamps. The overall fleet average

for all ‘Keystone Technologies, LLC.’ fluorescent lamps is less than 5 milligrams.

The amount of mercury present in any given lamp will vary depending on both the size

of the lamp and on the equipment that was used in its manufacture, This average is lower

than that from several years ago, and ‘Keystone Technologies, LLC.’ is currently

working to further lower the amounts of mercury used in its fluorescent lamp products.

III. HEALTH CONCERNS Phosphor Except for small changes, it is essentially the same phosphor that has been in use in our lamps for over 45 years. No significant adverse effects, either by ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, or eye implant, were found in a five-year animal study of the original phosphor by the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of the Mellon Institute. Also, there have been no significant adverse effects on humans by any of these routes during the many years of its manufacture or use.
