Ecoglo® E4071 Series Photoluminescent Contrast Strips with Black Insert, 2" Wide

Model E4071 • E40 Series Ecoglo® E4071 Photoluminescent Step-Edge Contrast Strip – Black Non-Slip Insert Improve stair-edge visibility, add durable traction and support luminous egress path marking with a low-profile 2-inch-wide photoluminescent contrast strip. The Ecoglo® E4071 Photoluminescent Contrast Strip combines protected photoluminescent step-edge marking with a hard-wearing black silicon-carbide non-slip insert on a rigid aluminum base. The system provides visible step-edge definition under normal lighting while providing photoluminescent guidance when lighting levels are reduced. At only 2 inches wide, the E4071 provides a compact way to combine luminous stair-edge marking and non-slip protection for commercial stairways, exit stairs and other egress applications. Ecoglo® identifies the E40 Series for stairs requiring luminous path markings. Product Configuration Model E4071 is the black contrast configuration in the Ecoglo® E40 Series. The black silicon-carbide section provides non-slip traction and visible color contrast. The adjacent protected photoluminescent section is the component that provides luminous visibility. The black insert itself does not glow. ✔ Model E4071 ✔ 2-Inch-Wide Profile ✔ Black Non-Slip Insert ✔ UL 1994 & ULC 572 Listed Photoluminescent Visibility High-performance photoluminescent material provides visible step-edge guidance in both light and dark conditions without electrical power. Durable Non-Slip Surface Hard-wearing silicon-carbide non-slip material is integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate to provide dependable traction in high-traffic stair applications. Protected Luminous Surface Unique ridges help protect the photoluminescent material from abrasive wear while also contributing to slip resistance and allowing the surface to be cleaned. Indoor & Outdoor Use The E40 Series is designed for indoor and outdoor installations and has been tested for UV/weathering exposure and environmental durability. Ecoglo® E4071 Product Configuration E4071 combines Ecoglo® high-performance photoluminescent technology with a black silicon-carbide contrast strip on a rigid aluminum base. Manufacturer Model E4071 Product Series E40 Series Product Type Photoluminescent Contrast Strip Contrast Color Black Recommended Applications Exit stairways Emergency egress routes Commercial stairways High-rise buildings Office buildings Hotels and hospitality Educational facilities Public facilities Luminous Visibility + Non-Slip Step-Edge Protection The E4071 combines two important stair-safety functions in one low-profile strip: photoluminescent step-edge identification and hard-wearing silicon-carbide traction. Visible step edge Photoluminescent technology and contrasting non-slip material help define the leading edge under changing lighting conditions. Black contrast insert The black silicon-carbide section provides a durable traction surface and visible contrast where it differs from the surrounding stair. No electrical power required The passive photoluminescent material requires no wiring, batteries or ongoing electricity.
