The VEE GEE Scientific FEP Encapsulated Armored Glass Thermometer addresses both in a single instrument. The nickel-plated brass armor absorbs impact and protects the thermometer from rough handling and shock. The FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) encapsulation layer surrounds the glass — if the thermometer breaks despite the armor, the FEP coating contains the glass fragments and mercury-free blue liquid fill, preventing injury and contamination of the work environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eFilled with VEE GEE's Safety Blue organic liquid — biodegradable, non-toxic, and mercury-free — these thermometers deliver the accuracy and reliability of traditional liquid-in-glass instruments without the environmental and safety liabilities of mercury.
