Description: EVERYGLOW® Self-Adhesive Glow in the Dark Tapes

1. Overview

EVERYGLOW® Self-Adhesive Glow in the Dark Tapes are a versatile, non-electric safety solution designed to provide reliable guidance during power failures and emergency evacuations. Glow in the dark tapes are engineered using EVERYGLOW® advanced Strontium Aluminate base photoluminescent pigments, allowing them to absorb ambient light and glow in the dark, sustained glow for up to 12 hours.

Available in a range of widths and high-performance classes, these photoluminescent tapes are the industry standard for marking corridors, egress paths, and safety equipment in commercial, industrial, and residential environments.

2. Key Features

• High-Intensity Afterglow: EVRYGLOW® Glos in the dark tapes available in Class B, C, and D brightness levels to meet specific building codes and safety requirements.
• Instant Activation: Charges in just 10–20 minutes under standard indoor lighting or natural sunlight.
• High-Tack Adhesive: Equipped with a permanent, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that bonds to a wide variety of smooth surfaces including metal, plastic, wood, and painted walls.
• Safety & Compliance: 100% non-toxic, non-radioactive, and lead-free. Fully compliant with DIN 67510 and ISO 16069 standards.
• Easy Customization: Flexible material that can be easily cut to specific lengths or widths for bespoke safety installations.

4. Primary Applications

• Egress Path Marking: Creating continuous “follow-the-glow” paths along baseboards and hallways.
• Directional Indicators: Cutting into arrows or chevrons to indicate exit directions and stairwell locations.
• Equipment Identification: Marking fire extinguishers, alarm pulls, and first aid kits for instant recognition in the dark.
• Obstacle Marking: Highlighting door frames, light switches, and low-clearance areas to prevent injury.
• Logistics & Warehousing: Identifying rack ends, pallet locations, and aisle numbers for nighttime operation.

5. Installation & Maintenance

• Surface Preparation: For maximum bond strength, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. An alcohol-based cleaner is recommended for non-porous surfaces.
• Application: Peel the backing and apply firm, even pressure. Use a squeegee or roller to remove air bubbles and ensure edge-to-edge contact.
• Cleaning: The smooth surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive tools that may scratch the photoluminescent layer.

6. Performance Classes

EVERYGLOW® provides three distinct performance tiers:

• Standard (Class B): Cost-effective for decorative use and basic directional marking. (10/60mins, 55/7mcd/m2)
• Professional (Class C): High-performance for standard commercial building egress compliance.(10/60mins, 140/20mcd/m2)
• High-Intensity (Class D): Superior brightness for critical industrial, marine, and underground infrastructure (10/60mins, 250/35mcd/m2)

7. Are glow in the dark tapes safe to use?

Why they are safe

• Non-radioactiveMost modern luminous tapes use photoluminescent pigment (absorb light then glow in dark), no radioactive substances, no radiation harm to human body.
• Non-toxic & eco-friendly Made of safe PVC/PET material and harmless glow powder, lead-free, mercury-free, no chemical odor, safe for skin contact.
• Fire-retardant & stable Good heat resistance, not easy to burn or release harmful gas.
• Safe application
  Self-adhesive, non-slip surface, no sharp edges; safe for stairs, floors, corridors, schools, hospitals, factories.
