I have done some testing with a company that produces evacuation signage and they had to add the ADA signs to accompany their other signage. Some of the material has a metal backing, plastic backing and just a film. Of course, if you are working with the raster method you would need a material that would accept the braille bead. I haven't tried IPI material, I have had it in stock for some time for other signage applications. I am told that the length of time that the material illuminates should not be less than four (4) hours.</p> <p>Glenn<br /> Mattronic/Inofgrave<br /> Montréal</p><hr /><a name="a5532_5"></a><p><b>From: sprinter</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5532.5">#5</a>]<br /> 16 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: gravure (INFOGRAVE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5532.4">#4</a>] 17 Dec 2006</p> The real problem is most of the laws for photoluminescent signs have been on local levels. The ADA sign laws haven't been changed in a few years, it seems they can't agree on what should be done. In general the ADA sign movement has lost any momentum that it once had and enforcement is non existent on the federal, state and local levels due to budget cuts. <hr /><a name="a5532_6"></a><p><b>From: Zonas</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5532.6">#6</a>]<br /> 17 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: gravure (INFOGRAVE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5532.4">#4</a>] 17 Dec 2006</p> <p>I'm sure they mean photoluminescent but call it reflective. I tried calling the ADA hotline, but they were closed Thursday, Dec. 14 and I wasn't available on Friday. I will try calling them again on Monday, as I was unable to find any law with guidelines for photoluminescent/ADA signs. </p> <p>Would you mind emailing me at zonas at earthlink dot net (remove the ats and dots) as I'd like some more information on thickiness of material, applying, etc.</p> <p>Thanks, I knew somebody would know what I needed even though I didn't know :S </p> <p>Zona<br /> Zona's Engraved Creations<br /> Topeka, KS</p><hr /><a name="a5532_7"></a><p><b>From: Jim (PUZZLEHEAD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5532.7">#7</a>]<br /> 17 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: Zonas</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5532.1">#1</a>] 17 Dec 2006</p> IPI makes a glow in the dark plastic, but I have not seen it advertised in 1/32" thickness and I am not sure, but I don't think it complies with the NYC requirements.
