How to choose Luminous film?
I What is luminous film?
Glowing film is a self-adhesive PVC film with a luminous coating. Luminescent film can be charged by any source of light including regular lamp and glow in the dark for more than 10 hours considering the extinction. It needs no extra illumination or ultraviolet to glow. Luminescent self-adhesive film has a yellowish-white color during the day and brigthly glow green in the dark. Luminous film is a three layered film made of special PVC resins and Glow in the Powder TAT 33.
Luminescent film thickness is 0,23 mm. When it comes to 10th minute glow strength exceeds 200 mcd/m2 and becomes 25 mcd/m2 at the 60th minute of the luminescence. On the back side of the luminous film there is a special polyacrylate adhesive layer which provides the permanent adhesion and is protected with a siliconized paper. The ability to rapidly accumulate the light makes it possible to use the Glow in the Dark Film when making emergency marks, evacuation routes and developing the self-luminous safety systems. Luminous film is heavily used in design, in creating unique glowing decor elements, etc.
II Physical properties for luminous film

III Luminance characteristics:
The afterglow of Gerber Luminous Film degrades with time after the charging source is removed. This characteristic must be taken into account when designing markings and signs. The amount of afterglow depends on the observation conditions such as ambient (background) light and the observer. Typical afterglow (luminance) values for Gerber Luminous Film (unprinted) are as follows:
Elapsed Time (minutes) |
Typical Luminance (mcd/m2) |
1 |
117 |
10 |
50 |
60 |
8 |
IV Applications for luminous film
Gerber Luminous Film is suited for the production of interior safety signage in buildings, ships, aircraft, railroads, as well as interior identification signs and symbols. Gerber Luminous Film can also be used for short-term outdoor markings.
This film is intended for use on flat or simple curved surfaces. It is not intended for applications where petrochemical contact may occur.
