1. What is Photoluminescence, or glow in the dark ?
Photoluminescence is a kind of material incorporate inorganic phosphors into a carrier or substrate. The substrate might be a solvent-based or water-based paint, a magnetic or adhesive back tape, a plastic extrusion, an acrylic or polyurethane casting or injection molded item, or a vinyl film. These photoluminescent phosphors absorb light in the visible for mins and ultraviolet wavelengths and release light in the dark for hours.
2. How many Hours do Photoluminescent products glow?
EveryGlow photoluminescent products offer several grade of afterglow effect from 5~8 hours to days.
The luminance of our products are measured by our lab with technical instrument with activating by 1000Lux=93 foot-candles of Xenon Lighting for 5 mins, in compliance with DIN67510 . the emitted luminance get measured at 10/60minutes in full darknesses.
3. Is Photoluminescent material radioactive, toxic or harmful to human body?
No. The photoluminescent material we use is accomplished by non radioactive, non toxic pigment powder into the various base materials.
Other terms for photoluminescence are glow-in-the-dark, Phosphorescent and self-illuminating.
And our material is under test of MSDS and no special recycling necessary.
4. What light source is required for charging?
Any light source containing UV or visible light works: sunlight, fluorescent lamps, LED lights, or incandescent bulbs. Brighter and longer exposure results in stronger and longer afterglow. Typically, 15–30 minutes of adequate light ensures full charging.
5. What is the life time for the use of Photoluminescence?
In properly used mainly depends on the base material with our photoluminescence indoors over 20 years
6. What is the temperature resistance of our photoluminescent pigment?
800~1100 degrees of centigrade
7. How long time does photoluminescent product need to charge?
5~30mins under sunlight or other bright lighting( like lamp) may be enough for an initial quick activation.
Cool light sources: fluorescent, daylight/sunlight, UV light, LED are recommended for light sources.
7. Why choose Everyglow photoluminescent pigment/ Vinyl film/ Rigid sheet/ Sign/ Gravel or Pebble stone?
Because we have been in this area for years, with years of experience and good quality control, and we really like to listen to what our customer really need and keep doing technical and research makes our product different from other manufacturers.
8. What are photoluminescent (phosphorescent) safety signs and why should they be photoluminescent (phosphorescent)?
Photoluminescent (phosphorescent) safety signs are signs that have a resin covering with photoluminescent (phosphorescent) substances in its composition.
The photoluminescent (phosphorescent) sign has the purpose of effectively transmitting the message for which it was manufactured, i.e. to show alarm equipment, fire equipment, security equipment, etc.). It also shows escape routes (exits, doors, etc.), the dangers, the obligations or the prohibitions, guaranteeing total understanding, even in blackout situations.
The adaptation of Everyglow products to the market’s needs and to the national and international normative requirements is assured by a process of continuous investment, in innovation and development of new products and new technological solutions.
7. How do I install photoluminescent signs or tapes?
Most adhesive-backed products can be applied to clean, dry, and smooth surfaces. For rigid sheets or boards, mechanical fixing (screws, rivets) is recommended. We provide detailed installation guidelines and can offer custom fabrication (pre-cut shapes, printed designs).
8. Can you customize products?
Yes. We offer customization in:
-
Size and shape (die-cutting, machining)
-
Color (green, blue, aqua, violet, red, etc.)
-
Printing (silkscreen, digital printing of logos, symbols, text)
-
Packaging and certification (including IMO, UL, DIN, etc.)
Contact us with your requirements for a tailored solution.
9. What certifications do your products carry?
Our products comply with international standards including:
-
DIN 67510-1 (photoluminescent safety products)
-
IMO Resolution A.752(18) (marine use)
-
ASTM E2072
-
ISO 17398, ISO 7010
-
RoHS, REACH, SGS
Certifications vary by product—please inquire for specific details.
10. How should I maintain photoluminescent products?
-
Clean surfaces gently with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners.
-
Ensure regular exposure to light for optimal glow performance.
-
For adhesive products, avoid excessive moisture or oil on the installation surface.
-
No electrical maintenance or battery replacement is needed.
11. What is the product lifespan?
The photoluminescent layer retains effective glow performance for 15–25 years under normal indoor conditions, depending on environmental exposure (UV, abrasion, etc.). The substrate (PVC, acrylic, fabric, etc.) may have its own durability rating.
12. Do you provide samples?
Yes, sample requests are welcome for qualified projects. Contact our sales team to discuss your needs. Note that samples may incur a small fee, which is often deductible from future bulk orders.
13. What are your payment and shipping terms?
We accept T/T, L/C, and other secure payment methods. Shipping terms (FOB, CIF, EXW, etc.) and delivery time vary by order size and destination. Detailed terms will be provided in your quotation.
14. What applications are your products suitable for?
-
Safety & Emergency: Exit signs, escape path marking, stair nosing, handrails.
-
Industrial & Marine: Wayfinding in low-light areas, machinery marking, ship escape systems.
-
Commercial & Architectural: Decorative lighting, interior design, landscape features.
