Life: |
| |
The
useful life of DuraGlow® products can span many
years. The glow-in-the-dark property of the pigment will last indefinitely.
However, the vinyl carrier generally lasts 3 to 5 years, depending
on wear and tear and exposure to adverse conditions.

|
Exposure
to Sunlight (UVs): |
| |
DuraGlow®
pigments fade only minimally over time when exposed to sunlight. DuraGlow®
products installed in an outdoor environment will generally last 10
to 20 years if properly laminated to protect the pigment from contact
with excessive moisture.
