Black / UV light reactive
Glow tape is a type of adhesive tape that has the ability to glow in the dark after being exposed to a light source. It is also known as phosphorescent tape, luminescent tape, or photoluminescent tape.
Glow tape contains a phosphorescent pigment that absorbs light energy, and then slowly releases the energy over time as visible light, creating a glowing effect. The length of time that the tape will glow depends on the intensity and duration of the light source it was exposed to, and the amount of energy the tape was able to absorb. A black light or UV light will also charge photoluminescent tapes.
Glow tape is often used in low-light or no-light environments to provide guidance or emergency lighting. It can be used in a variety of settings, such as industrial facilities, hospitals, hotels, and homes. It can also be used in arts and crafts projects or for decorative purposes.
