QUESTIONS ABOUT CASES:
What material(s) are the cases made from?:
The cases are made out of a Polypropylene copolymer material that is light weight, durable and highly chemical resistant.
What temperatures can the cases tolerate?:
The cases will withstand temperatures from -10°F (-23.3°C) to +210°F (98.9°C).
What adhesives and/or paints can be used on the cases?:
Due to the nature of the polypropylene being chemically inert, very little will attack the material. That also means that very few adhesives and paints will adhere satisfactorily. For an adhesive, we have found that 3M® P-8005 two-part adhesive works very well with our case material. It has also been reported that Shoe Goo works very well. For paint, Krylon has a product out called Fusion that they claim will adhere to polyolefin-based materials like polypropylene. Please visit our Technical Bulletins page under SUPPORT for more details and a list of recommended adhesives.
Are there any hazardous substances in the case material?:
RoHS, or Restriction on Hazardous Substances - RoHS specifically bans or restricts the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDE). At the July 1, 2006 implementation of the RoHS provisions, Pelican cases will not contain the banned or restricted materials and will therefore be RoHS compliant.

What testing have you done? Certifications? :
Pelican cases have been tested to MIL-C-4150J, ATA 300, Def Stan 81-41/STANAG 4280 and Ingress Protection (IP). Certificates are on file and copies are available upon request. Please note that for deep submersion internal bulkheads should be installed.
Are the cases water resistant?:
Yes, the cases are water resistant. There is an o-ring in the lid and a Gore-Tex® membrane in the pressure equalization valve that keep water out of the case.
How does the Pressure Equalization Valve work?:
The Pressure Equalization Valve is a simple device. It consists of a housing with a hole through it that is covered with a thin Gore-Tex® membrane. According to the Gore™ tech sheet: The microporous expanded polytetraflouroethylene (ePTFE) membrane continuously allows the free passage of gases and vapors, equalizing the pressure differential between the enclosure and ambient before it builds to the point that a seal is compromised. Water, dust and dirt are repelled by the hydrophobic membrane, thereby protecting expensive and sensitive electronics.
What is the o-ring made of?:
The o-ring is made of EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It is well known for its excellent ozone, weathering and aging resistance. It also has excellent water and steam resistance, maintains its flexibility at low temperatures, features excellent resistance to alkalis, acids and oxygenated solvents and is very color stable. (It is not recommended for resistance to oil, gasoline and hydrocarbon solvents.) EPDM is found in a wide range of applications and is excellent for use outdoors.
QUESTIONS ABOUT FLASHLIGHTS:
What does the term non-incendive mean?:
Flashlights have a circuit in which any arc or thermal effect (heat) produced under normal operating conditions of the equipment is not capable of igniting a particular flammable gas/vapor mixture, in the air.
What types of lamp does Pelican flashlights use?:
Most of our lamps are gas filled with Xenon, Halogen, or Krypton gas. We also use high intensity LEDs on selected models.
What is RECOIL LED TECHNOLOGY™ ?:
Think lighthouse in the palm of your hand. By mounting and pointing the LED backwards into the reflector, 100% of the light is captured and reflected forward. The result is a true collimated beam with brightness that rivals incandescents.
Can you use rechargeable batteries in alkaline flashlights?:
Alkaline flashlights will function with rechargeable batteries, but we strongly advise against this. The lamp life is cut drastically by doing this. Also, this will void the flashlight’s safety approvals.
Can you use alkaline batteries in rechargeable flashlights?:
Yes, you can. But you should revert to rechargeable cells as soon as possible. These flashlights are designed to perform optimally using this power source.
What is the difference between a laser spot beam and a modified spot beam?
The laser spot beam is a tight collimated beam and the modified spot is a flood beam.
