Premium Glow Tape is a safety grade, flexible, non-toxic/non-radioactive photoluminescent polyester film coated with a permanent acrylic adhesive. It is designed to meet or exceed requirements for emergency egress and other safety standards. The photoluminescent pigments absorb and store energy from normal, ambient light. In sudden darkness, the tape is immediately visible. These tapes are a non-electric safety system that easily and inexpensively affixes to walls, handrails, columns, around doorframes, and along stairways and baseboards.
Tape will glow in total darkness after exposure to artificial or natural light – it is fully charged within 30 minutes.
Glows brightest the first 30 minutes after activation has ceased, but will remain visible in a completely dark room to the night-adapted eye for approx. 6 hours (76019), 10 hours (76030), or 24 hours (76050).
APPLICATION:
Used for identification of critical equipment controls, light switch covers, exit and directional signage – especially for escape routes and stairways. Tape clearly labels safety equipment and provides a safe, illuminated path through stairwells, halls, rooms, and other potentially hazardous areas. Simple and inexpensive to install – position, peel off backing, and adhere, this safety system requires virtually no maintenance. Used in hotels, hospitals, schools, public facilities, office buildings and manufacturing plants - wherever people need a safe, reliable high and low-level egress pathway in case of an emergency, such as sudden power outages or the spread of smoke. Product has excellent resistance to UV light and does not show significant degradation when used outdoors. Also used for labels, decals, novelties, sporting goods, trims, special effects, etc.

* Glow: Timespan necessary for afterglow brightness to diminish to 0.3 mcd/m2 – 100x human eye perception. Duration may vary (+/-) as several factors (i.e. type/proximity/angle/wattage of light source, conditions of exposure, etc.) may impact glowing lifespan.
