ElectriGlow photoluminescent, glow-in-the-dark cables, power cords, and retractiles are thought to be the first photoluminescent cables suitable for power, industrial networking, control, data, communication, architectural lighting, and electric hybrid vehicle charging applications. Cables will glow for more than 22 hours. They have the ability to withstand abrasion, crush, oils, chemicals and extreme temperatures from -60°C to +105°C depending on the material and design configurations. ElectriGlow is available as electrical PVC power cord, non-UL TPU retractile cord, and abrasion-, oil- and chemical-resistant non-UL TPU/TPE. The PVC cord qualifies on all UL 62 tests, flame FT1 VW1, horizontal, and AWM1061. It also passes the UL 62 cold bend test at -20°C. The TPU/TPE material passes UL 62 at -60°C.
