Thermoplastic Exit Signs
Thermoplastic exit signs are a dependable and economical solution for commercial buildings, offering full compliance with UL 924 and NFPA 101 life safety codes. These fixtures are commonly used in offices, retail stores, schools, and healthcare facilities where cost-effective emergency signage is essential. Made from flame-retardant, injection-molded housings, thermoplastic exit signs are lightweight, easy to install, and built to deliver at least 90 minutes of battery-backed illumination during power outages.
- UL 924 Compliant
- LED Illumination
- 90-Min Backup
- Wet Location Rated
- Directional Arrows
Available in single- or double-face configurations, most models support field-selectable directional chevrons and your choice of red or green LED legends. Dual-voltage operation (120/277 VAC), long-life LED technology, and universal mounting hardware make these signs suitable for wall, ceiling, or end installations. Many also include optional self-testing diagnostics to simplify monthly and annual inspection routines. For areas exposed to moisture or humidity, browse our damp-location rated exit signs that offer sealed housings and durable lens protection for long-term reliability.
Edge-lit thermoplastic signs offer a modern aesthetic with low-profile, transparent acrylic panels and UV-stabilized polycarbonate faces. These versions are often NEMA 4X or IP65 rated, making them ideal for wet-location use such as entryways or covered outdoor corridors. Their clean appearance and fast installation make them a popular choice for design-conscious retrofits and new construction alike.
While thermoplastic models are perfect for standard commercial use, applications in high-abuse, industrial, or architecturally demanding spaces may benefit from enhanced durability. Explore our range of die-cast aluminum exit signs for a tougher, more stylized alternative. If you need integrated egress lighting in the same fixture, consider our thermoplastic exit sign and emergency light combos for dual-function, space-saving compliance.
