High Durability Product used in stadia and arenas must have high durability due to the demands of high foot traffic. To provide the necessary durability the Ecoglo manufacturing process involves heat curing to integrally bond the active ingredients into an aluminium substrate. The products have passed tests by accredited agencies for durability, UV resistance, stain resistance, abrasion resistance, ease of cleaning, flammability, toxicity and radioactivity.
High Performance Photoluminescence Ecoglo products contain photoluminescent pigment phosphors that absorb light energy and re-emit this as a bright glow. Following testing of over 100 pigments on the market, a custom pigment was designed to achieve the greatest luminosity possible. Ecoglo products are tested in accordance with UL1994 (1) by an independent laboratory to prove their high visibility. Ecoglo products are activated by either natural or artificial light and will glow for many hours following activation. The duration of visibility indoors will depend upon the charging source and the length of time of exposure to this light source (read here). Outdoors, the natural light will fully charge Ecoglo photoluminescent material, even on the most overcast day. When fully charged outdoors, Ecoglo products have luminance that will last all through the night.
High Performance Slip Resistance Ecoglo anti-slip components are produced using hard wearing silicon carbide and the same heat curing process as the photoluminescent components. They can be used indoors or outdoors as they are UV and weather resistant. they have passed UL410 Standard for Slip Resistance for Floor Surface Material and have high performance classifications as shown here.
