Heskins new egress glow in the dark marking tape, much like our current egress marking tape, is a smooth photoluminescent tape used for demarcation in buildings, particularly areas subjected to power outs. The base film is impregnated with a photoluminescent powder, charged by natural or artificial light. Once external light goes out, the egress tape is activated and glows brightly.

Egress tape is the term used to describe a smooth photoluminescent (glow in the dark) marking tape. Photoluminescent tape is constructed from a conventional self-adhesive plastic base film impregnated with photoluminescent powder. The material is charged by natural or artificial lights when the lights dim the product instantly displays a bright light.

Egress glow in the dark hazard marking tape is a further development of our plain colour Egress tape. One slight disadvantage of a conventional photoluminescent egress tape is that the plain colour is not the most vivid, during daylight it is a conventional mild green colour. With the modification of creating black chevrons running at 45° angles throughout the length of the material it then effectively creates a much more visible product that is far more noticeable. During either natural or artificial lighting, photoluminescent hazard tape has a mild green shade yet when the lights go out it glows bright green. The black chevrons do not glow and remain the same colour in any lighting situation. Egress hazard tape is perfect for applying on stairs, walkways, access areas, exits etc.

Heskins produces an excellent range of self-adhesive glow in the dark directional floor signs. The signs easily mark out emergency routes or fire exits. We produce photoluminescent floor signs in a size of 400mmx400mm; with rounded corners (to help with durability) and are laminated with a tough upper surface to help prevent the print being damaged. The permanent adhesive grips most surfaces with ease. The floor signs are charged by natural or artificial lights, during the day they are a vivid green and white display but as soon as the lighting is diminished they become black with glowing white infills. Photoluminescent floor signs are far more cost-effective than using powered signs and can be placed onto almost any flat substrate.
