Wire covering glows in the dark

By Paul Dvorak | October 25, 2010

wire covering

ElectriGlow is available as electrical PVC power cord, non-UL TPU retractile cord and abrasion, oil, and chemical-resistant non-UL TPU/TPE for control, communication, data and power.

A designer and manufacturer of technical and retractile cables has introduced ElectriGlow Photoluminescent Glow-In-The-Dark Cables, Power Cords, and Retractiles. The photoluminescent wire covering works well for power, industrial networking, control, data, communication, architectural lighting and electric-hybrid vehicle charging, and other applications. The cable is guaranteed to perform in harsh environments and it will glow for more than 22 hours.

The cables can withstand abrasion, crush, oils, chemicals and extreme temperatures from -60 to 105°C, depending on material and design configurations.

The PVC cord qualifies on all UL 62 tests, flame FT1 VW1, horizontal and AWM1061. The cord also passes the UL 62 cold bend test at -20°C. The TPU/TPE material passes UL 62 at -60°C. Custom ElectriGlow Cables can ship in five days without minimum order length or quantity.

    I was wondering if you made a dog lead line cable with the glow coating? The lead lines are usually 20-25 ft long with latches on each ends.

    HELLO- DOES YOUR CABLE SIMPLY STOP GLOWING AFTER 22 HOURS?
    IF SO, DO YOU HAVE CABLE COVERING THAT WILL GLOW FOR LONG PERIODS ON END?
    AM THINKING ABOUT BRINGING A NEW UN MARKETED PRODUCT I COULD USE IT ON.
    THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE AND INFO.
