Safety Tapes
Phosphorescent (Photoluminescent) Glow-In-The-Dark Tapes
S188-6 “Glow in the Dark”
S188-10 Premium Glow Tape
S188-24 Ultra Premium Glow Tape
A flexible polyester laminated photoluminescent film coated with a
permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and backed with a 5
mil poly coated paper release liner. 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 clearly visible in a totally dark room to the nightadapted
eye for 6+ hrs for the S188-6, 10+ hours for the S188-10, and 24+ hours for the S188-24. These tapes are offset, screen,
flexo, and thermo transfer printable. They can also be die-cut and
kiss cut using steel rule dies.
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.
COLORS: Fluorescent lime yellow and fluorescent orange.
