 Special Features
• Due to light absorption (artificial or natural UV), product can provide up to 6 hours of
visibility in dark conditions (depending on time and quantity of previous exposure to
light source – minimum exposure is 5 minutes to provide some glow)

• Besides its anti-slip characteristic, it enables visualization of exit paths in case of

power and other illumination sources outage

• Also provides increased safety when lights are out or in places with poor or no night
illumination

• Indicated for use in emergency exits, escape routes, tunnels, night-clubs, work
areas and any place that requires additional safety on evacuation, emergencies or as
a visible-in-the-dark, slip resistant surface solution

 Special Features
In order to clarify Photoluminescence Phenomenon please refer to the scheme below.

LUMINESCENCE
light emission by a material or substance

CHEMILUMINESCENCE PHOTOLUMINESCENCE ELECTROLUMINESCENCE

light emission caused by a chemical reaction light emission due to absorption of light light emission due to the passage
(infrared, visible, ultraviolet) and electron transitions of eletric current through the material

FLUORESCENCE PHOSPHORESCENCE
faster decay time slower decay time
visible while light source is still available visible after light source ceases, luminescence duration varies
