Neon Electrodes
EGL manufactures over 25 electrode models designed for specific neon tubing applications. Our ADVANTAGE series combines optimized shell construction and emission coatings to ensure maximum brightness and longevity. Each electrode undergoes rigorous quality checks for proper sealing and centering in glass envelopes, with current ratings ranging from 20-80mA to match various transformer requirements.
Neon Tubing
Our SIGNMATE and ACCUWALL tubing lines offer unmatched color consistency through proprietary phosphor coatings. Available in 8-15mm diameters with single or double coatings, these tubes resist flaking and maintain vibrancy even at tight bends. Machine-drawn ACCUWALL options provide uniform wall thickness for easier processing and reduced breakage during fabrication.
Rare Gas Mixtures
We supply 99.999% pure neon, argon, and K4 gas blends in multiple container sizes. Our K4 formulation provides superior cold-weather performance, delivering 14-49% greater brightness than competitors' cold weather gases. All gases are bottled using precision equipment to maintain purity and consistency across batches.
Phosphor Coatings
Our proprietary phosphor coatings use specialized adhesives and rare-earth materials to enhance color vibrancy and longevity. This technology prevents common issues like flaking, washout, and darkening at bends while maintaining uniform brightness across entire tubing runs, even in complex architectural applications.
Technical Support
With 90+ years of collective experience, our team provides application-specific guidance on electrode selection, gas mixtures, and processing techniques. We offer troubleshooting assistance and best practices for optimizing neon sign performance and longevity, drawing on decades of industry leadership.
