PERMALIGHT® photoluminescent Vinyl (Polyvinylchloride) and Polyester films are ideal for a multitude of uses, including as base/ substrate for glowing signage, as tape rolls to mark handrails and outline exit doors, push bars and fire fighting equipment, and as perimeter demarcation lines along the wall in floor proximity. The films are self-adhesive and their thickness ranges from 300 to 500 µm (~ 7 to 13 mil without liner), depending on the model. PERMALIGHT® Super High Performance power 450/60 Vinyl film (~ 22 mil thick) is only available non-adhesive.
PERMALIGHT® photoluminescent Polyester Thin Films are only ~ 13 mil thick overall (film + liner) and therefore recommended for plotter-cutting,
die- and kiss-cutting. They are highly form-stable and show virtually no shrinkage, compared to vinyl films. The photoluminescent Polyester films are also well-suited for digital printing with solvent-based inks, screen printing and thermo transfer printing.
PERMALIGHT® photoluminescent flexible films are available with luminance values from standard 20/3 millicandela per square meter (mcd/m²) up to high performance power 250/30 mcd/m². In addition to big log rolls, PERMALIGHT® offers photoluminescent films in narrow tape rolls or as custom-made pre-cut panels for the screen-printing industry.
In general, we recommend our photoluminescent films for indoor-use. The photoluminescent effect becomes visible when the luminance emitted is higher than the ambient lighting and outdoors all too often ambient street lighting and car headlights are brighter than the luminance. Nonetheless, PERMALIGHT® photoluminescent Polyester Thin Film in power 150/22 has been successfully used outdoors in a number of applications, including on hunting equipment and as sign graphics in fully dark environment. PERMALIGHT® vinyl films should not be used outdoors.
