Double-Coated Tubing |
Voltarc was the pioneer in the development of
double-coated neon tubing colors. They were originated to provide the richest deepest
shades obtainable. The color is created by first coating the inside of the clear led glass
tubing with a pigment which gives the tubing a base color. A second coat of phosphor
provides the luminescence.
Double-coated tubing is supplied in 4 foot lengths and in 9 to 25 mm
diameters. It is best used for borders and sweeping curves where the brilliance of the
color can create and attention getting and dynamic contrast with other sign elements.
Tight bends are not recommended because they can cause the coating to thin-out at these
points. |
|
Tri-Color Tubing |
Tri-Color's are a blend of three rare earth
phosphors (Red, Blue & Green) and typically have better color rendition, color
preference, and more light output than standard neon tubing colors. They can be operated
at higher currents and usually are more stain resistant. |

tubing in all standard and double coated colors from Voltarc. The available tubing
