What is NAT GLOW

• SAVE MONEY – SAVE A LIFE – IMPLEMENT NATGLOW

• What does NATGLOW do?• Natglow uses a photoluminescent pigment

that absorbs light (in any form), stores and releases a glow. Simply ‘glowing in the dark’. The pigment can be mixed into paint, plastic, epoxy’s etc. The glow lasts up to 10-hours.

What is NATGLOW all about?SAFETY

• NATGLOW is a composition added to many products in its development or it is added as a finishing component to a variety of products related to safety.

• Used in industrial, commercial and residential applications as well as outdoor facilities

Visibility in low light or even no light

• NATGLOW can be used as emergency demarcation in fire, smoke, blackouts, low light conditions.

• Used worldwide, it is now being mandated in many buildings by law.

• Reduces accidents, increases safety and survivability in emergency situations.

More safety

• Current safety equipment reflects light emissions with reflective materials

• This makes low light and no light situations dangerous

• WE GLOW IN THE DARK

Make Safety products even safer

NEW YORK CITY LAW• It’s the LAW

– Local Law 26 -On June 7, 2004, just weeks following hearings held by the Federal 9/11 Commission, the City Council Committee on Housing and Buildings voted to make New York City high-rise buildings safer. By adopting 13 of 21 recommendations made by the World Trade Center Building Code Task Force, New York City is making good on some lessons learned from the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.

• A section of the code requires that by July 1, 2006, all high rise office buildings (75 feet or taller) and all high rise commercial buildings in New York City shall be equipped with approved photoluminescent material. Only products approved by the Department of Buildings' Materials Equipment Acceptance Division ("MEA") shall be installed.
