Photoluminescent equipment

• Arco Iris® offers a comprehensive range of phosphorescent safety equipment designed for safety signage and evacuation guidance. These devices are designed to ensure reliable visibility in low-light conditions or total darkness, particularly during a power cut. The equipment is developed to suit a variety of environments, such as public buildings, industrial sites, car parks, ships, tunnels and transport infrastructure.
• Photoluminescent strips are one of the key features of this range. They are available in an adhesive aluminium version, offering excellent mechanical strength and enhanced durability. Non-slip versions are also available, either adhesive or made of rubber, to ensure both visibility and safety along pedestrian routes, particularly on floors subject to heavy footfall.

• LLL-rated self-adhesive PVC photoluminescent strips can be quickly installed on a wide range of surfaces. They are also available in arrow or hatched patterns, helping to guide users and mark the direction of escape routes. For more high-end or architectural applications, Arco Iris® offers photoluminescent aluminium strips featuring a ‘luxury’ profile, combining durability, aesthetics and photoluminescent performance.

• Photoluminescent tactile paving, such as aluminium studs, plays a vital role in ensuring accessibility and safety for people with visual impairments. It enables users to identify hazardous areas or changes in level – particularly on stairs or platforms – both by touch and sight.
• Photoluminescent aluminium arrows are highly visible and durable directional signage elements. They are designed to clearly indicate the direction of traffic flow or emergency exits. Round adhesive versions are also available for quick installation on walls, doors or windows.
• Photoluminescent stair nosings, available in standard aluminium or a premium version, provide effective marking of stair treads. They help prevent falls whilst ensuring optimal visibility of the steps in low-light conditions. These products are particularly suitable for emergency staircases, public buildings and premises subject to strict safety standards.
• Photoluminescent and retroreflective plastic studs provide discreet yet effective wayfinding. Their dual photoluminescent and retroreflective function improves visibility both in total darkness and when exposed to a light beam.
• Arco Iris® also offers a wide range of photoluminescent signs, available in PVC or aluminium. These signs are designed to indicate safety instructions, emergency exits or fire-fighting equipment. The materials used are selected based on environmental conditions, durability and aesthetic considerations.
• Photoluminescent spotlights made from stainless steel and glass offer a robust and durable solution for floor or outdoor signage. They are particularly suitable for areas exposed to high mechanical or climatic stresses.
• The range is complemented by other products, such as L-shaped photoluminescent markers, designed to indicate corners or changes in direction; photoluminescent door-opening devices, which make it easier to identify exits; and photoluminescent ropes, used to provide continuous guidance along walls or handrails.

Materials / Supports

In addition to ready-made products, Arco Iris® offers a range of photoluminescent materials for the manufacture or integration of bespoke solutions. The photoluminescent PVC vinyl film is a flexible material that is easy to cut and apply, and is suitable for a wide variety of flat surfaces.

Rigid PVC photoluminescent sheets offer good mechanical strength whilst remaining lightweight, making them suitable for wall-mounted or suspended signage. Aluminium photoluminescent sheets provide additional robustness and excellent durability, particularly in industrial or outdoor environments.

For applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance or meeting specific aesthetic requirements, photoluminescent stainless steel panels are available. Finally, photoluminescent glass enables bespoke solutions that combine transparency, design and safety features.

All of these photoluminescent products and materials form a coherent and comprehensive range, enabling compliance with regulatory requirements for safety signage whilst offering great flexibility in installation and customisation. Arco Iris® solutions are designed to provide reliable, durable and effective guidance, thereby contributing to the protection of people and the safety of spaces.
