Glow In The Dark PVC Film

Glow In The Dark PVC Film Material: Flexible PVC film Color: Green / yellow-green Backing: Adhesive or non-adhesive Width: 1.22 m / 1.24 m Processing: Print, cut, slit Use: Safety signs and marking Contact Us

Product Description

Caution Roll Company is a manufacturer of glow in the dark pvc film for safety sign production, wall and floor marking, evacuation guidance, and printed warning graphics. This photoluminescent PVC safety film uses a flexible PVC base with a green or yellow-green daytime appearance; the afterglow comes from photoluminescent pigment inside the film, not from a bright color coating. Adhesive and non-adhesive rolls are available for printing, cutting, slitting, lamination, and sheet conversion.

Product Overview

This glow in the dark pvc film is made for sign workshops, roll converters, and safety material suppliers that need printable PVC with measurable afterglow performance. In normal light, the green or yellow-green surface gives the finished sign a clear safety look. In darkness, performance depends on photoluminescent pigment, film thickness, charging condition, and luminance grade. Under factory reference testing, samples are activated at 1000 lux x 5 min, then compared by 10-minute and 60-minute luminance values instead of vague “long glow” claims.

The PVC base film is usually supplied in 0.30-0.45 mm thickness, giving the roll enough body for exit signs, corridor arrows, stair edge labels, equipment signs, and floor-level guidance strips. Adhesive versions use a 120-140 gsm liner and can reach 12-18 N/25 mm adhesion to steel as a typical tested value. Non-adhesive rolls are better for lamination onto rigid sign panels or protective top films. UV, eco-solvent, and screen printing are workable after ink testing, while plotter cutting, kiss cutting, and die cutting can convert the film into arrows, strips, pictograms, and route markers.

Benefits

1. Green or yellow-green daytime appearance keeps signs visible before lights go out.
2. Photoluminescent pigment stores light energy and releases afterglow in darkness.
3. Factory reference luminance grades, such as 150-260 mcd/m2 at 10 minutes and 20-35 mcd/m2 at 60 minutes, support practical material selection.
4. 0.30-0.45 mm flexible PVC base supports printing, plotting, slitting, and sheet conversion.
5. Adhesive and non-adhesive options fit wall panels, metal plates, acrylic boards, prepared floor areas, and laminated sign blanks.
6. Typical +/-1 mm slitting tolerance helps reduce edge waste during narrow roll conversion.
7. Low edge curling after plotter cutting helps stair strips, corridor arrows, and equipment labels look cleaner.

Technical Data Sheet

Application

• Emergency exit signs for buildings, factories, schools, and public facilities
• Wall guidance strips for corridors, stairways, basement routes, and evacuation paths
• Floor marking arrows where low-level direction remains useful during power loss
• Stair edge marking, handrail direction labels, and door frame guidance strips
• Fire equipment location signs and safety instruction boards
• Printed warning labels, room direction labels, and equipment identification graphics
• Printable glow pvc vinyl film for UV, eco-solvent, or screen printed symbols
• Yellow-green photoluminescent vinyl roll for sheet conversion and narrow roll slitting

What makes this photoluminescent PVC film different from ordinary green PVC film?

This photoluminescent PVC film is not just a green decorative sheet. The color is only the daytime appearance; the night-visible function comes from photoluminescent pigment mixed into the PVC film system. A common green PVC material may look bright under indoor lighting, but it will not store light and release afterglow after the light source is removed. For safety sign production, the useful details are activation reference, 10-minute and 60-minute luminance values, adhesive backing choice, print surface behavior, and clean cutting without edge lifting.

How should luminance grade be selected for safety signs and wall or floor marking?

Luminance grade should follow viewing distance, installation height, and how long the sign needs to remain readable after lights are off. A standard grade may be enough for indoor labels close to eye level. Exit path marking, stair edge strips, corridor arrows, and floor-level guidance usually need stronger 10-minute and 60-minute afterglow values. An adhesive-backed photoluminescent PVC roll is practical when printed graphics need to be cut, peeled, and applied directly. Non-adhesive material is better for rigid panels or protective top layers. For busy floor areas, protective lamination helps reduce abrasion and edge wear.

FAQ

Q1: Is this product the same as ordinary green PVC film?

No. The green or yellow-green appearance is only the visible color. The glow function comes from photoluminescent pigment and luminance grade.

Q2: Can this film be printed?

Yes. It can support UV, eco-solvent, and screen printing, but ink adhesion and drying should be tested before bulk production.

Q3: Can it be used on floors?

Yes, on clean and prepared surfaces. For high-footfall areas, protective lamination is recommended to reduce abrasion and edge wear.

Q4: What backing options are available?

It can be supplied with permanent adhesive, removable adhesive, or non-adhesive backing for printing, cutting, lamination, or further converting.
