Filed:

Feb 6, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/069028

Inventors:

John R. Goedel - Eden Prairie MN, US

Assignee:

GloTek Corp. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

E04H 12/00

US Classification:

25230136, 52301

Abstract:

In one embodiment of the invention, a marine article of the invention includes a phosphorescent phosphor. A particularly advantageous phosphorescent phosphor comprises MAlO. As used herein, “M” is at least one cation selected from a group consisting of calcium, strontium, and barium. The phosphor comprises 0. 001% to 10% of a europium activator, and 0. 001% to 10% of at least one dopant selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, gadolinium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, tin and bismuth as a co-activator, in terms of mol % relative to the metal element expressed by M. The phosphorescent marine article has an afterglow corresponding to a luminance of at least 0. 3 mCd/mfor at least 420 minutes.
