DURAPLATE ®
IMO Safety Signs

We offer IMO Safety Signs crafted from our premium photoluminescent DURAPLATE® material, ensuring high visibility and durability in challenging maritime environments.
This semi-rigid, self-extinguishing multilayer material offers unparalleled resistance to:

  • UV radiation
  • sea water
  • mechanical damage
  • harsh marine conditions

DURAPLATE® IMO signs are equipped with self-adhesive foam of excellent adhesive properties. This ensures a strong bond to a variety of surfaces, including uneven ones.

The comprehensive selection of marine safety signs, including lifesaving signs, emergency equipment signs, fire-fighting equipment signs and prohibition signs, among others, can be easily browsed in our online IMO Safety Signs Catalogue.

Certified

ecologo greenguard dnv marine equipment directive 2014/90/EU

Our photoluminescent signage is approved by DNV with MED mark of conformity, which guarantees the highest quality standards for the marine industry.
They comply with the following standards and regulations:
• IMO Res. A.752 (18) • DIN 67510 • ISO 15370:2010 • IEC 60092-101:2001

DURAPLATE ®

DURAPLATE® is a culmination of extensive research and rigorous testing, leading to the creation of an exceptional material. Engineered with modified fire-safe PVC, DURAPLATE® is distinguished by its superior self-extinguishing properties.

Unlike PET-based signs, it minimizes the risk of sustaining a flame and the dripping effect of the melting material, which may contribute to the spread of fire.

The multilayer structure has been designed to protect the printing and luminous layer against mechanical damages and UV rays. The top protective foil is especially useful to avoid scratches which may occur during transportation or installation. The foil can be peeled off just before ship commissioning.
