Questions
Question about the product
 Una on 2023-11-09 20:11:57 | Question: Hi, is this paint suitable for outdoors? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: This product is intended for indoor use, specifically designed to illuminate if lights go out unexpectedly. If applied outdoors, the paint will have largely depleted its stored energy. It is part of a 3 product system, Coo-Var Luminous Paint Foundation Base should be used as a White Base coat, increasing the visibility and allowing Coo-Var Luminous Paint to function. Coo-Var Luminous Paint Clear Protective Coat should be applied as a finish coat to protect against wear and prolonging colour retention. | |
| Sarah rickard on 2023-04-25 14:47:06 | Question: Can I use it on a tar flat roof to mark a fire escape route? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Unfortunately the luminous paint is not effective outside as it only shines brightly for 30 mins once it gets dark. | |
| Tony on 2022-02-09 17:01:53 | Question: Do you have a photo luminescent paint suitable for use on moderately trafficked floor areas |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: No, unfortunately we do not have a luminous paint suitable for application to a floor, we can recommend Heskins Safety-Grip Photoluminescent Anti-Slip Tape Rolls as an alternative. | |
| David Cogan on 2018-04-05 11:47:24 | Question: Do you have any (multiple?) data on longevity of the glow from your luminous paint product please? E.g. After exposure to 100,000 lux (direct summer sunlight) for 4 hours, the paint is luminous at greater than 100 lux for 8 hours and then reduces at a rate of 10 lux per hour thereafter. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: The particular type of luminous pigment used in Coo-Var Luminous Paint is fully charged almost instantaneously (probably less than 1 second) when exposed to northern daylight. Charging will take a little longer at reduced light levels, with both natural and artificial light. The afterglow lasts between 15 to 25 minutes, usually, if fully charged. At the later stages, perception of the afterglow will depend on the eye becoming accustomed to the darkness. Coo-Var Luminous Paint is intended to be used where there is the potential for a sudden loss of light, as a possible result of a power failure to lighting in areas without daylight. Its use outside at night would be limited because it would be fully discharged during twilight, as day progresses through to night-time, without being energised with a light source. | |
