Description: EVERYGLOW® Glow in the Dark Vinyl (Photoluminescent Film)
1. Overview
EVERYGLOW® Glow in the Dark Vinyl is a high-performance, self-adhesive photoluminescent film designed for professional safety signage, emergency egress markings, and creative plotting applications. Unlike standard tapes, this wide-format vinyl offers superior flexibility and workability, allowing for custom shapes, letters, and large-scale safety installations.
Utilizing advanced strontium aluminate technology, this vinyl serves as a sustainable, non-electric light source that recharges indefinitely and provides critical visibility during power outages or low-light conditions.
2. Key Features
- High-Intensity Afterglow: Available in multiple performance tiers (Class B, C, and D) providing 8 to 12+ hours of visible luminance.
- Excellent Workability: Engineered for clean results with computerized plotters, die-cutting machines, and manual cutting tools.
- Versatile Printing: Compatible with silk-screen printing and various digital printing methods (UV and solvent-based inks).
- Industrial-Grade Adhesive: Features a pressure-sensitive, high-tack acrylic adhesive that bonds securely to walls, metals, and plastics.
- Safety & Sustainability: 100% non-toxic, non-radioactive, and maintenance-free. Requires no batteries or wiring.
