Traditional glow materials often will not glow after 100 hours of exposure to outdoor light. The new Photoluminescent products from Chroma Corporation, however, are designed for use outdoors.

Imagine a product or package that recharges itself, requires no maintenance, cannot be accidentally turned off, and uses no light bulbs, batteries, or wiring. Some Chroma products, light stable and designed for outdoor use, have been measured to glow for over 32 hours.

Potential applications include: rotational molded marine navigation buoys; injection molded exit signs; profile-extruded strips for exit aisle delimitations; buttons on electronic devices; car dashboards; cup holders; seat belt release buttons; etc. For more, visit www.chromacolors.com.
