Illuminare PL (PhotoLuminescent) Solid Surface is manufactured by AGCO, Inc., Norcross, GA. Illuminare is a polyester blended solid surface material with( PL) PhotoLuminescent properties that allow its internal material to brilliantly glow in darkness for 12+ hours when light-charged from outdoor solar UV exposure, and/or ambient room light exposures when used indoors. The PL component to Illuminare demonstrates an initial brilliant soft blue neon-like glow that softens to a more moderate glow brilliance after approximately 60 - 90 minutes. This moderate glow brilliance then lasts the remainder of its 12+ hour glow cycle. These glow cycles are infinitely repeatable, with over a 50 - year life cycle. The PL materials are derived from natural minerals that are consumer safe and friendly. No hazardous dangers or effects are present in this material, and it is safe for residential and commercial uses. Illuminare is fantastic for demarcation exits where this type of lighting is mandated by the federal government. The product can be fabricated into signs, baseboards, and wainscoting to facillitate this type of practical application.
Illuminare solid surface has all of the normal properties of standard solid surface materials wherein it is non-porous, has a color and material consistency throughout its make-up structure, can be used both indoors and outdoors, and loves exposure to sunlight to supercharge its glow properties. Illuminare cuts, sands, glues, and acts as most standard polyester blended solid surface materials do. The largest difference in Illuminare is the fact that it brilliantly glows in darkness for 12+ hours.
Illuminare is available in both 1/2' and 1/4" thicknesses, and carries a 10 - year manufacturer's warranty against material quality defects.
