Glowing safety signs are made of special self-luminous materials that glow in the dark after being charged from any source of light, with no extra illumination needed. Afterglow intensity is so high when using high quality Glow in the Dark Powder TAT 33 that now there is even a reason for government to change all the regular safety signs to luminescent ones. The main purpose of glowing safety signs is to draw the people attention at facility, in store, on open area and other places and to inform them about the possible danger, as well as to indicate current restrictions or to tell employees about recommended precautions in case of emergency.
In order to inform people about potential danger or current restrictions that exist at certain location, you can use special signal colors (like red, yellow, blue and others) and self-luminous marking.
Safety signs can be divided into several types according to their glow effect:
- Regular signs that have no special features shown in the dark. You have to install extra illumination to see what it prescribes or indicates in the dark.
- Reflective safety signs can be seen by a driver for example when his car lights the sign with its tail lights (important for road signs). That happens due to special reflective paint used in sign production. When light accumulation stops - retroreflectivity effect disappears. But when it becomes dark - sign is seen again.
- Photoluminescent safety signs bring us to a new level of safety systems. These signs can glow in the dark after being charged for a short time from any source of light. It can be charged by the Sun, ultraviolet, office light, lamp, flashlight, etc. Glow technologies turned out to be very useful in evacuation and fire safety systems. Afterglow effect doesn't get reduced with time. Potential glow in the dark duration is up to 8 hours considering the extinction. That is more than enough to make a decision in case of emergency.
Noxton Company can offer you different types, shapes and sizes of safety signs in accordance with current legislation. As in Ukraine, standards and requirements that regulate the production of normal and luminous safety signs are presented in special DSTU standard. For Russia it is GOST. The peculiarity lies in the fact that national standard of almost every country is made in accordance or even copying the international standard. Photoluminescent fire safety signs , for example, no matter what country they are produced in, are made according to World standard ISO 6309:1987 Fire protection — Safety signs. That means glowing signs from Noxton are versatile and can be used in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other countries.
Let's distinguish main types of regular and glowing safety signs (pictures are provided by Domznak workshop):
- Luminescent fire safety signs provide people with information on where firefighting equipment and fire informing devices are located. They also inform employees about zones and materials of high fire risk. These signs have a red square or rectangle shape.
- Self-luminous evacuation safety signs inform people about the possible ways to escape in case of emergency. It is worth to note that glowing paint and glow powder were developed first of all to provide fast people evacuation and to mark the route in the dark or poor visibility conditions. Glowing evacuation signs start to glow right after electricity turns off. Due to the fact that it is required by law to have an independent power supply to make these signs visible - luminescent evacuation signs can become a modern alternative to regular ones. Evacuation glow in the dark signs have a shape of a green square or rectangle with white pictures inside.
- Luminous prohibiting signs - forbid to perform certain actions in the area where sign is installed, for example: "No smoking", "Off limits", "Do not block", "Do not turn on!" and others. Signs of that kind have a shape of a red square with stripe.
Prohibiting signs that are used in dark or unlit areas have to be illuminated. Here is one more reason to install self-luminous prohibiting signs from Noxton.
- Light accumulative warning safety signs warn people about possible danger, for example: "Danger! Risk of explosion", "Danger! Crane working", "Watch out! High voltage" and others. Sign of that type has a shape of yellow equilateral triangle. Glow feature of the sign allows to improve human safety and reduce the percentage of injuries at facility.
- Mandatory safety signs with afterglow effect provide the information on specific requirements for workers that have to be done in order to guarantee the human safety. There are some of them: "Wear protective helmet!", "Wear protective gloves!", etc. Sign of that kind has a shape of blue circle with white designations inside.
- Guidance safety signs provide employees with info on where certain items, materials and objects are located. There are some examples of them: "Smoking area", "Phone", "Medical aid". That luminous sign has a shape of rectangle. It is blue with a white square with designations in the middle.
- Posters and electricity safety signs regulate the conduct rules when operating electrical installations. There are some of them: "Do not switch on! Men working on the line", "Stop! High voltage", "Grounded", etc. These photoluminescent safety signs can be either permanent or portable. Due to the fact that posters of that kind are set in special risk areas that can be dangerous for human life - use of modern self-luminous materials is highly important in that field.
- Luminescent medical safety signs inform a human on where and how he can get a first aid. Glowing signs can have a shape of a square or rectangle, while being green with white pictures in the middle.
- Glow in the Dark Evacuation Plan is a single element of the general facility safety system. In case of emergency power outage people on a facility would have a chance to clearly see the scheme and possible evacuation routes. That fact would significantly increase people's chances to survive. Luminescent evacuation plan has a long service life. It is water-repellent as well.

It is really simple to use the table. For example, if the distance between the observer and the planned mounting location of a "No smoking" prohibitory sign is about 9 meters then the safety sign should be 150 mm in diameter according to regulatory documents.
But if we are talking about a warning sign, like "Explosive" one, while under the same circumstances, then the luminescent sign should have a shape of equilateral triangle with 200 mm side.
If the distance between a human and a planned mounting location is about 50 m, then the "Emergency Exit" safety sign should have the size of 550x700mm.
