Jalite History

JALITE history in serving the marine and offshore oil industry now goes back well over 20 years.

JALITE introduced the first, photoluminescent safety way-guidance systems to the UK offshore oil exploration industry in the early 80's, providing an essential back up to electrical emergency lighting.

In the late 80's saw the introduction of the first JALITE photoluminescent safety signs for life saving appliances for passenger ships. This requirement being precipitated by the disaster to the Herald of Free Enterprise.

Since that time, JALITE has progressively improved the quality of the photoluminescent materials, products and services offered to this market and have helped develop the crucial International Standards for these applications.

JALITE photoluminescent marine safety products are the only truly world-wide, branded products with a performance history second to none.

Never accept poor imitations when you can have the real thing at competitive cost.

JALITE volume production in photoluminescent safety sign products and specialisation in this field has made it extremely competitive.

All JALITE standard "IMO" and marine products are ex stock and orders can be shipped to all corners of the world within 24 hours.

This market requires a high level of local service and JALITE Authorised Distributors and Dealers are expected to be close to client's needs and are supported to provide the essential rapid customer and delivery response.

JALITE produce the complete range of photoluminescent safety signs required by SOLAS regulations for the marking of life saving appliances. While there is no obligation according to existing standards for the photoluminescent performance for life saving appliance safety signs, JALITE products are all produced to the same exacting high standard as is required by low location lighting.

JALITE AAA products have exceptional ageing properties and deck and platform applications will give excellent service life compared to lesser, imitation, “glow-in-the dark” photoluminescent products.
