Heskins H8101C Directional Egress Glow in the Dark Tape - Photoluminescent Arrow Marking Tape
Heskins H8101C Directional Egress Glow in the Dark Tape combines photoluminescent egress marking with directional arrows in one roll. In normal light the tape appears pale green with black chevrons; when the lights fail the base glows bright green and the black arrows stand out as a clear direction of travel, guiding people towards exits and along escape routes. Heskins positions H8101C between its standard egress tape and its high-quality egress tape in glow performance, with approximately 4 to 6 hours of afterglow after a sufficient charge from daylight or artificial light.
The chevron pattern is printed on a precision-engineered PVC base and sealed under a glossy top laminate that prevents the print wearing under foot traffic. The self-adhesive base gives reliable adhesion to clean, dry floors, stair nosings and walls. Rolls are 50 mm wide by 10 m long; because the arrows meet at the centre line the width cannot be slit narrower. Other photoluminescent sizes are available through the H8101D hazard egress range.
