XING WEI Reflective’s Amazing Photo Luminescence Film

XING WEI Reflective’s Photo Luminescence Film for Brazil Market 

Brazilian Association of Technical Standards which is also known by its acronym ABNT is a private non-profit organization which was founded in1940 and is affiliated with ISO (International Organization of Standards). It is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in Brazil. The main purpose of this organization is to regulate National standards throughout the country in order to boost technological development and since the organization is connected with ISO, the products and services that it certifies are of the highest quality. To standardize products and to meet the needs of Brazilian companies, ABNT has developed various programmes and it has named the Brazilian National Standards as Norma Brasileira Regulamentadora when abbreviated it is called as NBR. For example -ABNTNBR14644 for road vertical signs-traffic sign sheeting and NBR 13434 for fire and panic safety signs.

Fire and Panic Safety Signs – ABNTNBR 13434

The Brazilian National Standard for NBR 13434 – Fire and Panic Safety Signs was created for Fire Safety. These safety signs are expected to comply with the standards set by ABNT. The standards are as follows

· Brazilian National Standards: The Brazilian standards consists of 3 parts:

· Part1: Principles of Designs
· Part 2: Symbols and their shapes, dimensions & color
· Part 3: Requirement and test methods

· Legislation of Municipal Scope: Municipal building codes and works like installing aerial as well as ground signs for emergency exits.

· Federal Legislation: Regulating safety for fire protection, safety signs and confined spaces like a clear indication for exits and permanent signs for confined spaces to avoid entry of unauthorized persons.

· Statewide Legislation: State code for safety regulations against fire, panic in the buildings and risk areas.

XING WEI Reflective photo luminescence safety signs comply with all the standards that are set as per the Legal regulation and ABNT.

Luminance Standard ABNT NBR 13434:

Luminance is the measurement of light per unit area of light traveling in one direction, which means it shows how much luminance power the eyes can detect from a surface when looking from a particular angle. It is an indicator of how bright the surface will appear to the eyes. And luminance is calculated by candela per square meter (mcd/m2).

The following chart demonstrates the Luminance Standard requirement as per ABNT NBR 13434 and XW Reflective Luminance Film performance.

This chart clearly explains that the ABNT standard requires a luminance value of 140 candelas per square after the disappearance of the incident light and remains for 10 minutes in the dark. The performance of XW Reflective is incredible as the luminance value is 252.8 candela per square after the disappearance of the incident light and remains for 10 minutes in the dark.

Also the ABNT standard requires luminance recession time of at least 0.3 candelas per square after the disappearance of the incident light and remains for 1800 minutes in the dark. While XW Reflective is fantastic as the brightness or the luminance remains for 2180 minutes in the dark after the incident light diminishes.

Marking the Signal:

The standard of luminance film requires obligation of marking in the performance signal on the sign and also the Manufacturer’s name or CNPJ (CNPJin Portuguese stands for Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Juridica or also known as National Registry of Legal Entities. It is an identification number that is issued by the Secretariat of the Federal Revenue to a Brazilian company which consists of a 14 digit number.) Apart from this, the sign also needs to have the luminance values(X / YZ) to be printed on it.

· X and Y – luminance value (mcd / m2) at 10 minutes and 60 minutes after the diminishing time.

· Z – the time, measured in minutes, where the signal remains visible in the dark until the luminance of 0.3 mcd / m2 is reached.

XW Reflective Photo Luminescence Film:

Photo-luminescence film is used for safety and emergency exit signage with high luminous intensity. XW Reflective glow in the dark vinyl is an excellent self-adhesive product of premium quality with phosphorus glowing powder. Some of the amazing features of glow in the dark film are as follows:

Technical Characteristics of Photo-luminescence film:

· Face Film Types –XING WEI Reflective glow in the dark vinyl are of two types

· PET glow in the dark vinyl: This is an exceptionally good material that is used for plotter cutting. This material can also be used for glow in the dark signs.

· PVC glow in the dark vinyl: This PVC material is excellent for digital printing and can be used for decorations and advertisements.

· Adhesive – XW Reflective glow in the dark film is self-adhesive with 40 mics permanent pressure – sensitive adhesive.

· Film Thickness– The PET vinyl’s thickness is 210 mics and the PVC vinyl’s thickness is 270 mics.

· Warranty– For indoor application and cleaning the glow in the dark film has 10 years guarantee. However, if the product is used outdoors in harsh environments then the warranty may reduce.

· Printing– XW Reflective photoluminescent film can be printed by inkjet and computer engraving. High-quality inks are used for printing and the ink is resistant to UV rays.

· Health and Safety– This product is very safe as it does not contain any radioactive elements and it is non-toxic and harmless.

· Maintenance– Maintaining this product is very easy as the film is resistant to any kinds of graffiti. Even if the surrounding climate is damp or strong acid is used for cleaning the sign is still safe and protected because of the transparent film.

· Application Surface – The product can be applied only on the flat surface like aluminum surface.

· Application Temperature– 15C is the temperature at which this product is applied.

· Roll Size– The size of Photo-luminescence film is 1240 mm (48 inches) * 45.7m (50 yards).

· Storage– It is very important to store this product in a cool and dry place and the rolls have to be stored in the original shipping cartons or it can also be suspended horizontally from a rod. Once the product is delivered it is good to use the product as soon as possible within 1 year of receiving it.
