Photoluminescent tapes and signs
Photoluminescent floor marking
Photoluminescent signs as well as floor and pathway marking are used in areas where for various reasons there may be a temporary or periodic lack of artificial light or daylight, and where it is recommended that pathways, escape routes and pictograms are clearly visible to ensure safety of movement. Photoluminescent marking can be used in production halls, logistics centres, warehouses and offices. Apart from being a source of additional lighting, this type of marking improves occupational safety.
Photoluminescent evacuation signs, information signs and floor marking contain a photoluminescent pigment which stores luminous energy when exposed to light, making it glow in the dark. The pigment absorbs broad bands of visible light and UV, which makes it glow – this process can be repeated multiple times.
The products are not radioactive or toxic.
The photoluminescent pigment is successfully used in floor marking: along evacuation routes, pathways, in floor pictograms, and next to any areas which pose a tripping hazard or where there is a risk of a fall, i.e. thresholds and steps. Photoluminescent floor marking also increases the aesthetics of the plant.
The average illumination time, i.e. after which illumination ends (mcd/m2): 260 after 10 minutes; 35 after 60 minutes.
Photoluminescent tape
Photoluminescent film is a type of soft plastic film which can be coated in adhesive and anti-adhesive paper.
The product is non-toxic, harmless, nonradioactive, multicoloured; it is characterised by increased brightness of illumination and has a long shelf life.
Photoluminescent film is often used in the production of safety marking – for instance, warning tape or evacuation signs. It can also be used as background at night and in the darkness, and play an informative function.
Photoluminescent film can also serve to illuminate and decorate household objects and can be affixed to light switches, telephones, door handles or electronic devices. Its other uses include: toys, gym equipment, entertainment venues, public buildings (hotels, corridors, offices, theatres, warehouses, cabins, underground passages, etc.).
Key features:
- Made from PVC with good resistance to fire.
- Resistant to seawater and detergents to a certain degree (can be cleaned with detergents).
- Highly resistant to both high and low temperatures. Can be used in temperatures from -20 to 50o
- Considerable physical and mechanical lifetime.
- The film can be affixed to many different surfaces thanks to a self-adhesive layer.
Photoluminescent evacuation signage
Made from photoluminescent boards, i.e. a type of hard plastic which is non-toxic, harmless and nonradioactive. This product is characterised by extended illumination time and many useful advantages. It can be used as marking on vessels, vehicles, on the subway, in passageways, as fire safety signage, multi-purpose signs and in interior decoration.
Key features:
- Made from PVC with a certain degree of resistance to fire.
- Resistant to seawater and detergents to a certain degree (can be cleaned with detergents).
- Highly resistant to both high and low temperatures. Can be used in temperatures from -20 to 50o
- Considerable physical and mechanical lifetime.
- Highly resistant to abrasion thanks to the presence of a protective film on the surface of the board.*
