In any facility where safety is a priority, ensuring that people can easily find exits and navigate hazards during power outages or low-light conditions is essential. That’s where Heskins Glow in the Dark Hazard Egress Marking Tape comes in – a simple, effective solution designed to enhance safety and visibility in emergency situations without relying on electrical lighting.
This photoluminescent marking tape is engineered to absorb light from natural or artificial sources and emit a bright, glowing signal when the lights go out. Used in stairways, hallways, exit routes, and controlled areas, this tape helps guide occupants safely, reducing risk during emergencies like power failures or fires.
Dual-Purpose Safety Marking: Day and Night Visibility
One of the standout features of Heskins Glow in the Dark Hazard Egress Marking Tape is its dual-purpose design. In normal lighting conditions, the tape’s photoluminescent surface is paired with black chevron patterns that draw attention to potential hazards and pathways. This visual contrast makes it easy to identify hazard zones and important routes during the day.
When the lights go out, the tape’s glow facility takes over. Charged by light exposure, the tape emits a consistent luminescent glow that reveals exit paths, stair edges, handrails, and other critical points. This intrinsic light source works without batteries or powered illumination, making it a reliable safety feature even in fully darkened environments.
Built for Tough Conditions and Long-Term Use
Safety tape needs to do more than just glow – it must stand up to real-world conditions. Heskins Glow in the Dark Hazard Egress Marking Tape is constructed with a PVC base and strong self-adhesive backing that conforms to common flooring and surfaces while maintaining long-lasting adhesion. This balance of durability and flexibility ensures the tape stays in place on stairs, walkways, access areas, or wherever it’s applied.
With a total applied thickness of about 0.79 mm, the tape is robust without being bulky, providing reliable performance without creating tripping hazards or detracting from facility aesthetics.
Flexible Sizes and Custom Options
Every environment is unique, and safety needs vary from one facility to another. That’s why Heskins Glow in the Dark Hazard Egress Marking Tape is available in a wide range of sizes and can be custom cut or die-cut to meet your specific requirements. Whether you’re marking narrow stair edges or wide egress routes, Heskins can tailor the tape to fit your space.
This flexibility ensures that safety markings are precisely where they’re needed most, improving visibility and compliance without compromise.
Applications Across Industries
Photoluminescent hazard tape serves a broad range of applications:
- Commercial buildings: Mark exit routes, stairwells, and hazard zones to enhance safety compliance.
- Industrial facilities: Highlight walkways, restricted areas, and emergency egress paths.
- Healthcare settings: Ensure patients and staff can easily locate exits, even in low light.
- Educational campuses: Improve safety signage in hallways and evacuation routes.
No matter the setting, installing glow in the dark hazard tape adds a level of preparedness that traditional signage alone can’t match.
