GLOWSTEP HOW THE STEP GLO WORKS

Visible glow-in-the-dark stripe Safely identifies steps during power failureNon-toxic/Non-radioactiveMeets OSHA requirements

Rechargeable from any light sourceEasy to clean Long-wearing, mineral abrasive tread Meets OSHA requirements

Unlike electrical or battery lighting, Step-Glow products will never let you down. They will glow brightly in the dark for many hours giving your patrons confidence in exiting, even in an emergency. Some steps are just too hard to see, whether it be day or night. With Step-Glow, you can be sure your patrons will see the steps, not fall down them, whatever the light conditions. It’s the combination of the photoluminescent-strip and the non-slip material that creates such great step edge definition.

Every small step you take to reduce electricity usage helps save our environment. Step-Glow products let you recycle natural sunlight or artificial light into visual nightime guidence systems without the need for electricity. Step-Glow also goes green by using recycled aluminium. All products are non-toxic and non-radioactive. Designed to last the life of your facility, Step-Glow avoids maintenance costs. Ultimately,Step-Glow is recyclable which avoids the cost of landfill dumping.

FEATURES

Comparative Advantage

STEP-GLOW

LuminanceStep-Glow products are manufactured using a patentedprocess that is only used by Step-Glow. This tightly controlledapplication embeds the photoluminescent particles in aclear durable polymer.

The physical nature of the dry powder embedding processand the optical properties of the polymer ensure maximumefficiency of the photoluminescent particles to absorbuseful wavelengths from a natural or artificial light source.This light the re-emits from the product towards a viewerseye.

Step-Glow products use a custom produced photoluminescentpigment which has greater longevity of glow than all theother pigments (over 100) which Step-Glow has sampledsince 2001.

Step-Glow uses dry powder for maximum luminance.

VisibilityAll Step-Glow products are engineered to provide greatervisibility than relevant codes and standards currentlyrequire. Photoluminescent visibility is affected by morethan just brightness (‘Luminance’); the other factor iscontrast against adjacent surfaces.

Contrast against adjacent surfaces is the critical parameterfor visibility on a step edge. Step-Glow step-edge productsincorporate a black anti-slip strip that provides excellentluminance contrast and color contrast to the PL strip, sothe step edge is clearly defined in all lighting conditions:dark conditions, light conditions and twilight or dimconditions.

This means the Step-Glow products are visible from a greaterdistance and for a longer time after the lights go out.Step-Glow incorporates a black anti-slip strip for maximumvisibility and edge contrast.

NON-STEP-GLOW

A widely used alternative manufacturing process usesliquid formulations that carry the photoluminescentparticles.

Liquid formulations can suffer from settling out of thedensephotoluminescent particles resulting in inconsistentluminance properties.

The Step-Glow Photoluminescent (PL) range of products provide significant benefit during low light conditions and emergency blackout situations.With a proven track record in reducing slips and falls Step-Glow products provide improved health and safety with additional benefits in any smokehazard situation.Used for way-marking, step nosings and signage, the products are UV stable and highly durable, lasting for many years. The products areeasily installed and have minimal maintenance costs.

GLOWSTEP The Step-Glow Technical Advantage

The product range includes:

• Waymarking guidance strips• Handrail guidance strips• Floor marker discs• Hazard strips

• Signage (inc. tactile & Braille)• Seat and aisle identification• Step edge definition trim• Step nosings

PVC based products have reduced durability, may turnbrown during weathering exposure after a short time.

Flexible base products, such as PVC, are more prone tocoming loose because the installation adhesive is morehighly stressed.

For outdoor use, protective film which is not integrallybonded is only as good as the quality of the adhesive.

Smooth surface PL products do not provide slip resistance.

4 www.stepglow.com

Durability of Photoluminescence The Step-Glow range has been subjected to accelerated UV/weathering exposure, and proven to be highly resistant to the effects of UV/weathering.

Testing has been extended from the usual 1000 hour or 2000 hour test, out to 6000 hours, which can be interpreted to be similar to around 30 years of outdoor exposure.

At 6000 hours exposure, while there is noticeable loss of gloss of the top surface, the loss in PL brightness is less than can be detected by the human eye (measured reduction of 5-8%). The unique ridges in the photoluminescent strips protect the glowing areas from most abrasive wear, and other incidental abuse.

Step-Glow uses its patented process for maximum durabil-ity. Using powder means the polymer we use is “long chain” which forms a strong UV resistant product when bonding.

Installed Durability The manufacture of all Step-Glow products involves the integral bonding of the photoluminescent layer to a rigid aluminium substrate, so there is no chance of delamination or peeling. Rigid products spread any applied loads overa greater area of installation adhesive.

Step-Glow signage uniquely incorporates an integrally bonded anti-graffiti protective top coat over the print, which also protects the print from abrasive ear. Because this top layer bonds into the substrate, there is no chance of delamination or peeling.

Step-Glow bonds onto rigid aluminium and applies aproc-tective top coat for greater installed durability. Slip Resis-tance The unique ridges in the Step-Glow photolumines-cent strips and the integrated anti-slip contrast strips provide all-weather slip resistance.

Step-Glow combines ridges and antislip contrast strips forslip resistance.

GLOWSTEP Luminance Requirements

A luminance level of 5 millicandelas per m2 (mcd/m2) after 90 minutes of darkness is considered adequately visible forphotoluminescent emergency lighting in the following international codes and standards. Step-Glow products EXCEED ALL theserequirements.

New York City Reference Standard RS6-1 Photoluminescent exit path markingsThis reference standard was promulgated in May 2005, and is referenced into the New York City building code by New YorkCity Local Law 26 of 2004.

This law requires high-rise office buildings in New York City to have photoluminescent way-finding markings in all exit pathways.This is supplementary to existing emergency lighting requirements, and applies to all buildings, old and new.RS6-1 defines the size and location of the markings and signage, as well as their performance requirements.Markings are required on all step edges, and as perimeter markings of the exit pathways, stairwell landings, and exit doors. Exitsigns are also required. New buildings require handrail markings. Performance requirements include a minimum luminance atninety minutes of 5mcd/m2 after charging at 2f/c for 120 mins in fluorescent light. Conforms to tests for flammability, toxicity,radioactivity, washability, and (optionally) UV stability.

ICC International Building Code and International Fire CodeNew code has been added to Chapter 10, Means of Egress, in the 2009 International Building Code and International Fire Code.The International Building Code is used at local or state level in 47 states of the USA plus Washington, DC, and is in the processof being adopted by two additional states. The new code requires photoluminescent exit path markings in new non-residential buildings of 75ft height or more. Photoluminescent markings are required on all step edges and handrails, and as perimeter-markings of the exit pathways, including stairwell landings. For performance requirements the code prescribes compliance with either• UL1994, Luminous Egress Path Marking Systems, 2005, or• ASTM E2072-04 Standard Specification for Photoluminescent Safety Markings (subject to modified charging source requirements)

UL 1994 Luminous Egress Path Marking SystemsUL 1994 is a standard that provides requirements for floor proximity and other egress path marking and lighting systems thatprovide a visual delineation of the path of egress. These systems are also used to identify significant egress path features suchas doors, stair banisters, obstacles or information placards.Such systems are intended for installation and use as required by building and fire safety codes such as the Life Safety Code,NFPA 101; the Building Construction and Safety Code, NFPA 5000, and the International Building Code sponsored by theInternational Code Council.UL1994 requires each system element to be recognizable from a distance of 25 feet, and also requires all elements that maybe applied to a floor or step to meet UL410 Slip Resistance of Floor Surface Materials, and to be tested for the effects of cleaning.

ASTM E2072, Standard Test Method for Photopic Luminance of Photoluminescent (Phosphorescent) Markings.This standard requires that photoluminescent markings be tested for photoluminescent brightness (luminance) following charging for 2 hours at 21.6 lux from a Fluorescent lamp having a color temperature between 4000K and 4500K. Therequired luminance properties are:

After 10 minutes, minimum luminance 20mcd/m2After 60 minutes, minimum luminance 2.8mcd/m2

Photoluminescence

VisibilityVisibility of photoluminescent material is measured by millicandelas/m2( mcds). From international code requirements (NYCand ICC) it is widely accepted that at 5mcds photoluminescent material is visible. It takes many hours for Step-Glow photoluminescent material to reduce to 5mcds.Note that if photoluminescent step edging is used as the only light source for indoor theatre aisles Step-Glow will engineer a sol-ution to provide sufficient visibility as the 5mcd emergency requirements are not relevant.

8 www.stepglow.com


GLOWSTEP Definitions

Photoluminescent material must receive some light in order to re-emit that light. In most situations 15 -30 minutes of light(depending on the light source) will be sufficient to charge photoluminescent material so that it will remain visible for four hours.Immediately after the charging light has stopped, the luminance (brightness) can be very high (over 2000 mcd/m2 if the charginglight is bright). Luminance rapidly decreases over the next 10-20 minutes, however visibility is still adequate at 5mcd for emergency egress. It takes 11 hours for fully charged Step-Glow material to reduce to 5mcds (see Brightness Decay Graph).If very low light levels exist Step-Glow will be able to advise of the duration of lighting required to charge the strips ( see TypicalCharging Tables on pg 6)

There are two main types of detector cells in the retina; cone and rod cells. For approximately the first 5-15 minutes under dark-conditions the cone system of detector cells, which operate in bright light, continues to operate. However after this time the rod system of detector cells takes over as it is far more sensitive to light. The detective threshold of cone cells is 1mcd/m2, whereas the detective threshold for rod cells is only 0.001mcd/m2. Visibility is affected by an individual’s ability to see in the dark. In particular older people see significantly less in the dark or indim light than younger people. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to fully adapt from bright sunlight to complete darkness.The speed of adaptation is faster than the rate at which the brightness of photoluminescent material reduces. This can lead tothe photoluminescent material appearing to get brighter initially

The process of photoluminescence allows certain substances to emit a steady luminescent glow after they have absorbed variouskinds of energy. Photoluminescence involves the absorption of energy - normally light. This causes the electrons of the atoms of the absorbing material to become excited and jump from the inner orbits of the atoms to the outer orbits. The electrons then fall back to their original state causing photons of light to be emitted.Step-Glow uses Strontium Aluminate crystals embed-ded in a clear, durable polymer. These crystals continue to glow for many hours until exhausting the energy they have absorbed, but they can be recharged repeatedly by re-exposure to light. The luminescent ability will not noticeably deteriorate over time. Step-Glow photoluminescent material is made from strontium aluminate crystals. When exposed to light energy (either natural orartificial) the crystals become excited and undergo a conversion process which enable them to re-emit the energy received aslight in the form of a yellow/green glow. The light source can then be cut off and the excitation will continue for many hours.Photoluminescent material can be simply recharged by re-exposing to light.(Brightness decay graph on page 9)

GLOWSTEP Durability Standards and Tests

Cleaning

1. Vacuuming or brushing with a stiff bristle head (wet or dry) is often enough to keep the strips clean. The glowing strip can also be wiped clean with a wet or dry sponge or cloth. Observation will determine if cleaning is required, however a regular cleaning every 4 to 6 weeks or after particularly heavy use should ensure correct performance.

2. High-pressure water (but not steam cleaning) can also be used to clean the strips.

3. Do not use highly alkaline or acidic cleaning agents. The pH of the cleaning agents should be between pH 5 and pH 12. If cleaning agents are applied at more than pH 10, the strips should be rinsed with pH neutral (pH 6 to pH 8) solution afterwards.

Maintenance

Step-Glow products should be checked annually to ensure the following:• All products are still in place as at installation and there is no material damage to any of these products• All products are clean from general dust build up and any other specific obscuring deposits such as gum or tar• All products are clearly visible and have not been covered by carpet or other materials• All products mark a clear path and have not been obstructed by physical hazards such as trolleys, machinery etc• All products can be used to provide clear escape path marking and there has been no change to the configuration of the building which renders them unusable• All light required to charge Step-Glow products is operating as designed at installation

11www.stepglow.com

GLOWSTEP Durability Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning to remove built up dirt and objects on the strips will ensure Step-Glow will continue performing to expecta-tion. Notethat the photoluminescence will continue performing even after UV exposure or exposure to moisture. The only reason for degradationin the performance of the photoluminescence is a lack of correct cleaning.
