Imagine a power cut, being trapped in an elevator... and the emergency generator fails to kick in. In crowded public places such as tube stations, indoor sports complexes etc. or in elevators a power cut may easily cause panic.

Ceilings and wall claddings made of Novelis light-storing aluminium surfaces create sufficient brightness to avoid such extremes. Novelis LUMINAL helps to avoid accidents and panic and provides a good economic alternative source of light in addition to the existing lighting system.

A range of surface options for this innovative material have been developed by Novelis to satisfy the requirements of a variety of applications.

Advantages of luminescent surfaces are:

• non-combustible: certified A1 according to EN 13501
• high formability without damaging the paint
• gauges form 0.2 to 2.0 mm
• excellent abrasion- and weather-resistant surface
• at least a full hour luminosity from a fully charged surface
• suitable for all conventional printing techniques
• compliance with safety regulations according to Euro-Norm
• long term luminosity - can be endlessly re-charged
• short pre-exposure times are sufficient
  

Applications:

• Safety application/ Escape routes
• Interior claddings
• Advertising material
• Building applications
• Tunnel systems
