IMO SAFESIGN SIGNS AND POSTERS

IMO SAFESIGN SIGNS AND


POSTERS
PHOTO LUMINESCENT
IMO SafeSign- The photo luminescent material used on SafeSign signs,
stores the energy from light sources and releases the light energy in
darkness. SafeSign only uses 100% environmentally friendly material,
free from any toxics or radioacPve addiPves. To acPvate the
photoluminescent material the product needs light. The brightness and
period of glow depends on the grade and thickness of the pigment.
SafeSigns only uses photo luminescent material that exceeds the glow
properPes required. All photo luminescent signs and Low LocaPon Light
systems use the same, DNV cerPfied, material.

SafeSign innovated the sign industry by replacing the commonly used


PVC with a modified PET, called PETX. The benefit of this PETX is that
the product is completely recyclable, reducing the environmental
footprint. PVC contains halogens, which can produce highly toxic fumes,
and therefore the use of PVC is more and more prohibited. Another
benefit of PETX used, is the resistance against UV. Where PVC will
discolor, and becomes yellowish, SafeSign PETX comes with a 10 year
warrantee, even when used outdoor. SafeSign signs will not discolor.
:
BACK-PRINTING
SafeSign innovates by introducing a new way of sign prinPng. Instead of
prinPng the photo luminescent layer and color print from the front, we
developed a procedure whereby the colors are printed from the
backside. AZer this we print the photoluminescent layer. This way, we
protect the prinPng from environmental influences. From the back side
the sign we seal the sign with a PE closed-cell foam tape. This has a self-
adhesive backing which you can use to fix the product to a surface. The
result is a clear, high-quality sign with a glossy, shiny finish on the front.
You can easily clean the sign and apply it to almost any surface due to
the adhesive backing. We deliver all signs with a protecPve front film.
You should remove this film aZer the sign is stuck to a surface.

THE MOST ECONOMICAL SIGNS


The cost of signs will be a small part of your total signage expenses.
IdenPcicaPons, ordering, transport, installaPon and invoicing are
usually more than 90% of the cost. You can reduce this substanPally by
using SafeSign signs. SafeSign signs will last a minimum of 10 years,
guaranteed. The signs are easy-to-fix thanks to the
:
selfadhesive backing. Save serious money on all these replacement cost
while applying an evironmental friendly purchasing policy. Sustainability
through innovaPon!

Explosion RegulaPon 6 – Smoke GeneraPon PotenPal and Toxicity

1. Purpose
The purpose of this regulaPon is to reduce the hazard to life from
smoke and toxic products generated during a fire in spaces where
persons normally work or live. For this purpose, the quanPty of smoke
and toxic released from combusPble materials must be limited.

2. Paints, varnishes and other finishes


Paints, varnishes and other finishes used on exposed interior surfaces
shall not be capable of producing excessive quanPPes of smoke and
toxic products, this being determined in accordance with the Fire Test
Procedures Code.

SafeSign is the only manufacturer who supplies all signs, posters and
LLL-strips with a selfadhesive backing. You will never have to
use adhesives or other methods for fixing. We specifically selected the
selfadhesive backing, from a PE closed-cell foam, to withstand the
:
harsh marine environment. We deliver all signs, posters and LLL strips,
with a protecPng front film. You should remove this film aZer you’ve
applied the product.

LUMINANCE PROPERTIES
This illustraPon depicts an example of components used to convey one
of the several possible layouts of a
safety way guidance system for a typical detail of escape route:
a: Escape route sign at intermediate posiPon
b: High mounted single-sided photo illuminated safety sign
c: Indicator of the frame and door handle
d: Guidance line with direcPonal indicator

The example is based on ISO 16069 Safety Way Guidance System

SYMBOLS

Our new signs will comply with the ISO 24409 standard. This will mean
that some of our signs are replaced by newer ones. On the leZ you can
see which signs will be replaced, and which signs you should use to
comply with the all-new ISO 24409 regulaPons. If you have any
quesPons regarding this new regulaPon, please contact us.

All photo luminescent signage needs to meet the requirements stated


:
in IMO resoluPon 752(18). This means that these signs need to provide,
as a minimum, 15 mcd/m2 aZer 10 minutes and 2 mcd/m2 aZer 60
minutes when no longer exposed to an illuminaPng source. You need to
test the luminance of signs, as low locaPon light systems, at least once
every 5 years. Therefore it’s key to use quality signs which provide
these values, and not only in the first months.

Especially signs used outside need to be of such a quality that the


exposure to UV does not discolour the plasPc. You won’t meet the
requirements when this is the case. We make T-ISS signs from PETX.
This modified polymer plasPc won’t discolour when it’s exposed to UV
light. We protect the photoluminescent layer by prinPng the signs from
the backside. You can rest assure, when using our signs, that you’ll be
safe for at least 10 years.

IMO SAFESIGN POSTERS


According to Solas regulaPons, you have to place informaPon signs in
the direct area of rescue and lifesaving devices. The signs must explain
funcPon, control and acPons to be taken. SafeSign designs for
this training and instrucPon posters which come in a outdoor high
quality self adhesive PETX. The size is in general 30×40 cm. On special
request we supply these signs bi-lingual. If you have any quesPons or
special requests please don’t hesitate to contact us.
