Stairglow® Introduces a New Line of patented photoluminescent products unlike anything offered on the market today for Life Safety applications.
Farmington Hills, MI – When Stairglow® was looking for a supplier to provide light stable photoluminescent thermoplastic material for their new line of life safety products they choose Chroma Corporation. The material supplier developed a light stable photoluminescent compound for Stairglow’s® line of IBC Compliant patented life safety products which include; Stairnosings, Handrail covers, and Kick plates.
Pictures above supplied by Stairglow® and show the family of patented Photoluminescent products that comply to the IBC code for egress marking.
This new product offering is truly unique. The old glow materials, based on zinc sulfide would not glow after 100 hours of exposure to outdoor light. Chroma’s new Photoluminescent products are designed for use both indoors and outdoors. Some products have been measured to glow for 32+ hours!
Stairglow’s ® new patented product line is compliant to the International Building Code specifications and offers a durable, easy to install and inexpensive option for building owners to retrofit their buildings to be compliant to the new IBC egress regulations.
Stairglow ® is believed to be the ONLY company offering a handrail system that meets the IBC code, which is also patented. These safety egress systems are designed for durability, safety and easy low cost installations in the land, sea, and air applications! The Stairglow ® product line consists of a family of patented photoluminescent products unlike anything offered on the market today.
Imagine a product that recharges itself, requires no maintenance, can not be accidentally turned off, and uses no light bulbs, batteries, or wiring! It is now a reality and available from Stairglow ® .
