Emergency Exit Signs
Emergency exit signs must remain highly visible, structurally secure, and resistant to environmental stress, and because of the weight of the sign, a strong mechanical bond is required.
What do Emergency Exit Signs Adhesives do?
DELO PHOTOBOND light-cured acrylate adhesives offer a superior solution for bonding the front glass plate of emergency exit signs to stainless steel frames, outperforming traditional methods like silicone by a factor of 10 to 20 in mechanical strength.
The front glass plate of an emergency exit sign is bonded to the stainless steel frame using a DELO PHOTOBOND light-cured acrylate adhesive. The adhesive doubles as a barrier against moisture and foreign objects such as dust, dirt, cleaning solvents, etc. Using an adhesive also allows for optimum processing during the manufacturing cycle.
Key Features of DELO Light Curing Adhesives
- High-strength
- Tension-equalising
- Moisture resistant
- Optically clear
- Maximum ageing resistance to sunlight
- Refractive index similar to glass
Why DELO PHOTOBOND?
- Refractive Index Matching: Minimises visual distortion between glass and adhesive
- High Mechanical Strength: Supports the weight of the sign and ensures long-term durability
- Moisture & Contaminant Barrier: Seals out dust, dirt, cleaning solvents, and humidity
- Optically Clear: Maintains visual clarity for illuminated signage
- UV/Visible Light Curing: Enables fast, efficient processing during manufacturing
- Ageing Resistance: Withstands prolonged exposure to sunlight without yellowing or degradation
Application Process
The adhesive is applied between the glass and stainless steel frame and cured using UV or visible light. This ensures a clean, bubble-free bond line and rapid cycle times, ideal for high-throughput production environments.
Use Cases
- Emergency exit signs in commercial and industrial buildings
- Glass signage requiring high optical clarity and structural integrity
- Display panels and illuminated safety signage
