G5001 Photoluminescent Guidance Strip
The G5001 Photoluminescent Guidance Strip has been expertly engineered to easily identify, even in low light conditions, pathways leading up to any emergency exits or points of egress. Measuring at 1” in width pathmarking with the G5001 is made easy to install and effectively provide safe and reliable means of egress as the glow-in-the-dark feature requires no power and very little maintenance.
Our PL path marking strip is UL 1994 listed.
Ecoglo is proud to offer the most environmentally friendly photoluminescent guidance strips on the market. Our glow-in-the-dark strips require zero energy to function and qualify for LEED points.
Our photoluminescent guidance strips are both non-toxic and non-radioactive. Our products are made completely out of recyclable material, which means you won’t have to pay disposal costs at the end of their lifecycle.
Designed with longevity in mind, Ecoglo’s photoluminescent guidance strips are manufactured using the latest technology, to ensure lifelong durability. Our patented manufacturing process gives you the advantage of having the most durable, and highly efficient photoluminescent guidance markings available.
The unique ridge design protects the luminous guidance strips from even the most abrasive wear and tear. Consequently, Ecoglo’s photoluminescent guidance strips provide long-lasting, reliable photoluminescent egress solutions.
- The rigid aluminum base spreads any applied load over a greater area of installation adhesive. Installation with a premium polyurethane adhesive/sealant is extremely durable, moisture resistant, and works very well on both smooth and textured surfaces.
- Tested to accelerated UV/weathering exposure, and proven to be highly resistant to the effects of UV/weathering.
- The loss in performance is less than can be detected by the human eye when subjected to 6000 hours of UV exposure, which is similar to 30 years of outdoor exposure.
- The polymer used in Ecoglo’s patented process is “long chain” which forms a strong UV resistant product when bonding.
