What is AUTOGLO™ ?
AUTOGLO™ is in essence a photoluminescent material which emits a clear and visible glow when there is power failure. This material requires no battery-power or any other triggering source for emission of the glow. In view of this, it is one-hundred percent safe and does not involve any heat, flame, electric shocks or pollution. Upon exposure to light, natural or artificial, this photoluminescent material absorbs and stores light energy and then in the absence of light, this captivated light is released to give off a luminous glow by its non-toxic chemical. They have long life and no maintenance is required. It requires no external or internal wiring/electric supply. It is Water-proof, Explosion- proof, Corrosion-proof, Mold-proof, Vapour-proof and fire retardant (In case of Metal Signs).
Why AUTOGLO™ is required?
AUTOGLO™ directional signage systems can help users to enable them to locate exits in the event of emergency evacuation in conditions of total darkness or reduced light due to smoke because of its Glow In The Dark properties. When the source of light suddenly goes off, photoluminescent materials glow strongly. After an initial decline in brightness, the glow settles to a near continual intensity. A positive life-saver during the evacuation of buildings, in the case of fire or other such emergencies. The importa-nce of wayfinding systems has been emphasised in recent years by situations such as the London Underground fire disaster, the Scandinavian Star ferry tragedy and the World Trade Centre terror-bombing.
