Product Description
T.R.U. PGD-6 Glow in The Dark Tape is 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 total dark room to the night adapted eye for 6+ hours. Adhesive has a 24-hour dwell time. The tape has a white/cream color in its uncharged state and when glowing the tape has a luminescent lime green color.
Absorbs and stores energy from
Normal ambient light - UV light - Artificial light
Applications
• Used for: identification of critical equipment controls, light switch covers, exit and directional signage _ especially for escape routes and stairways.
