Our customers can choose from a wide variety of materials - PVC, aluminium, brass, polycarbonate etc. But our standard products are produced in white self-adhesive vinyl (WV) or white rigid PVC (WR) photoluminescent self-adhesive vinyl (PV) or photoluminescent rigid PVC (PR).
Non-Standard
Signs and products can be produced in a variety of materials - polished or satin finish brass and stainless steel, aluminium, polycarbonate, banner material, encapsulated high gloss, Telbex Vynalast etc (see pages 36 - 39 for some examples- do we provide links to examples here?)
These photoluminescent materials are manufactured by Maritime Progress Ltd.
Trade enquiries for bulk quantities are welcomed. (e-mail link??)
Photoluminescent material stores energy from a light source and releases the light energy in darkness. It is an ideal material to use for safety signs. The light energy needed to activate the material and the brightness it emits depends on the grade and thickness of pigment used. We use three grades of materials PSPA class A, B and C depending on the level of risk.
Flexible laminated PVC composite material incorporating a photoluminescent layer thermally welded to a white reflective layer, backed with pre-applied adhesive.
Thickness: 0.6mm.
Indoor durability: in excess of 5 years.
Outdoor durability: good, but can reduce in strong sunlight and humidity. Toxicity: non-toxic, non-radioactive and contains no phosphorous or lead. Chemical resistance: resistant to most common cleansing agents. Flammability: inherently fire retardant.
Adhesive: cross-linked acrylic, pressure sensitive permanent adhesive with silicone release backing paper.
