EGL Introduces V6500 Snowhite
March 31, 2009 2 Comments
EGL Company, Inc. has expanded on the world’s most extensive neon tubing line with the introduction of EGL V6500 Snowhite. A brand new color, EGL V6500 Snowhite is an exact color match to Voltarc® 6500 Snowhite. Utilizing the same coating formula, EGL V6500 Snowhite is also the same color behind Acrylic/white plex. The reformulated coating provides improved phosphor adhesion with no flaking in the bends and limited blowout in the event of a broken tube/repair.
Harold Cortese Jr., president of the EGL Company, Inc., is proud to introduce this new neon sign tubing color into today’s developing neon market – “In today’s economy we thought it was especially important to provide sign shops with a match to the Voltarc® 6500 Snowhite. Whether a sign shop is doing exposed neon or channel letters, they now have another viable option to choose from. We feel EGL V6500 Snowhite will provide these shops with the alternative they are looking for. Our engineers put a great deal of time and effort into creating this match, we are happy with the results, and we feel the sign industry will benefit as a whole because of their work. We also pride ourselves on the fact that we are the only neon component supplier to manufacture 100% of our products here in the United States.”
The EGL Company, Inc. currently offers EGL V6500 Snowhite in both 4 ft and 5 ft lengths, in all the standard neon sign tubing diameters. All sizes and lengths for every neon application are now in stock and available worldwide through sign supply distributors.
The EGL Company, Inc. was formed by Ralph Cortese in 1930 and has been the world leader in producing neon components, neon electrodes, and neon tubing since its inception. Today, the EGL Company, Inc. is still owned and operated by the Cortese family, now in its 4th generation. EGL continues to be the world leader in the neon industry, and plans to diversify its product line to service the specialty lighting industry.
