International Building Materials presents Natglow, a photoluminescent pigment that can be added to paints, plastics, and other materials. When exposed to light, Natglow absorbs and stores energy and continues glowing for up to 10 hours without additional light. It improves safety in low-light and no-light conditions for applications like emergency evacuation routes, stairs, and equipment. Natglow is required by law in New York City high-rises and can benefit organizations like fire departments, police, and the military by aiding navigation without electricity or maintenance.

Is Pleased to present

2. 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

light conditions.
• Used worldwide, it is now being mandated in
many buildings by law.
• Reduces accidents, increases safety and
survivability in emergency situations.

5. 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

• Hazardous conditions
• No power needed

11. Other uses
• Mining
• Factories
• Industrial facilities
• Remote facilities
• Reduces need for lighting and expense
• Sports and recreation

12. Road and highway work
• What a difference NATGLOW can make.
• Even in NO LIGHT CONDITIONS

14. 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.
