GlowGRIP is a photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) slip-resistant
coating that can be applied to virtually any surface to provide
illumination while reducing the possibility of slips and falls.
GripKOTE is formulated using a non-radioactive rare-earth element
that stores energy during exposure to ordinary light and releases
it when the lights go out, providing low-level illumination for
up to 12 hours after a fifteen minute exposure to artificial or
natural light. GlowGRIP is cost-effective, reliable, and easy
to apply, making it the ideal coating to use on indoor or outdoor
surfaces where safety and illumination is a concern.
GlowGRIP's slip-resistant properties exceed OSHA and ADA requirements
for non-skid materials, greatly improving safety by proving maximum
traction in wet or slick environments. The unique polymer composition
provides superior grip in wet or dry conditions by forming a textured
surface that is comprised of microscopic peaks and valleys. Unlike
smooth or un-coated surfaces, GlowGRIP's polymer texture allows
contaminants and liquids to be present while leaving the high-traction
peaks exposed for additional grip. It is suitable for use in the
most demanding industrial, commercial, or residential applications
and can be applied on concrete, steel, aluminum, ceramic, or other
smooth surfaces to minimize the possibility of slips and falls.
GlowGRIP provides unmatched safety, value, ease of use, and versatility.
It can be easily applied to almost any surface to mark exit paths,
hazards, or other obstacles while reducing the possibility of
slips and falls. GlowGRIP is resistant to chemicals, solvents,
salt, or UV exposure and will not chalk, chip,flake, or peel.
It is water based, non-toxic, non-radioactive, and odorless, making
it safe for use on all indoor and outdoor applications.

GlowGRIP
Building Safety Applications:
Although the applications are endless, GlowGRIP is commonly used
in buildings and public facilities to provide safety in the dark
as well as in black-out or smoke-filled conditions. GlowGRIP can
be used to mark emergency egress routes, walkways and pathways,
stairways, hallways, and ramps as well as potential safety hazards
that otherwise wouldn't be visible in the dark. To a building occupant,
this additional safety measure can mean the difference between life
and death. To a building owner who is responsible for building occupant
safety, the difference can mean the reduced possibility of lawsuits
or litigation.
Studies have shown that in emergency situations, exit routes to
safety must be clearly visible or panic will spread, further endangering
the lives of building occupants. Federal building codes require
battery powered emergency lighting to illuminate stairways and exits
but in the event of a fire, smoke rises to the ceiling and often
clouds visibility, reducing the effectiveness of conventional emergency
lighting. GlowGRIP can be used to minimize this safety issue by
providing illumination at the ground level so that building occupants
can easily find their way to safety.
Unfortunately, conventional emergency lighting systems are not fail-safe
and may not perform during an emergency situation. They require
electricity and regular maintenance to remain operational however,
as with most mechanical devices, the possibility for failure exits.
Since GlowGRIP charges with ordinary light and doesn't require electricity
to operate, it is virtually maintenance free and extremely reliable.
Why Building Owners Should Use GlowGRIP:
•Visitors to hotels and public buildings are rarely aware
of the exit routes, adding to the chaos in an emergency situation.
GlowGRIP can help building occupants find their way to safety when
the power goes out.
•No electricity is required, making GlowGRIP's illumination
extremely reliable and virtually maintenance free.
• GlowGRIP is a slip-resistant coating that exceeds OSHA and
ADA standards for non-slip coatings, reducing building owner liability
due to slips and falls.
• GlowGRIP is visible in smoke-filled conditions, enhancing
the speed and safety of an evacuation.
• GlowGRIP can facilitate fire department personnel's rescue
and fire-fighting efforts.
