Glow in the dark film market is driven by safety product applications, as they provide safety way guidance system asthey don't need electricity to glow in the dark if they are properly maintained. in emergency situations where there ispower failure the photoluminescent films will immediately light the way to safety even in smoke condition.

The photoluminescent films are most efective in areas that are frequently exposed to light and have shorter periods ofdarkness, like the photoluminescent films are used widely in warehouse where lights are always on which ensures thatthat photoluminescent films will be always charged and would glow in the event of power failures. The restrain tophotoluminescent film market would be that the light energy might only last for few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Q: Does the luminous film need power? Will the luminescence decay?

A: No power supply is required at all, relying on light absorption and energy storage. Under normal use, the luminous performance decays ≤15% within 10 years.

Q: Does rainy weather affect the luminous effect?
A: Both ultraviolet and visible light in sunlight can be stimulated, and light can still be stored on cloudy days, but it is recommended to regularly supplement artificial light sources (such as LED lights).

Q: How to clean the surface of the luminous film?
A: Wipe gently with a soft cloth dipped in clean water or neutral detergent. Alcohol, strong acid and strong alkali solvents are prohibited to avoid damaging the luminous layer.

Q: Can it be used for curved surface pasting?
A: It is recommended to use a high ductility model (stretching rate ≥150%). When pasting, air needs to be removed from the center to the edge.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for customization?
A: The minimum order quantity for conventional models is 100 square meters, and the minimum order quantity for special customization (such as color, composite function) is 500 square meters. Free delivery of samples is supported.

Basic parameters of YSM luminous film

YSMLITE’s ABCD luminous films of different grades have passed the testing of the German DIN67501 standard. 

Among them, AB grade luminous film is suitable for private advertising, while CD grade luminous film is often used in professional fire protection fields because of its flame retardancy.

What is photoluminescent film?

Luminous film, also known as luminous film, has the properties of self-absorption and self-luminescence. It quickly absorbs light energy when there is a light source, thereby releasing energy in a dim and lightless environment, lighting the way forward, and providing warnings to people walking in the dark. and pointing effect. As a soft plastic luminescent film, the back of the luminous film contains self-adhesive and release paper. It is non-toxic and harmless and does not contain any radioactive elements. It has various colors, high luminous brightness and long service life. It can be pasted on various devices or item surface.

Application fields of glow in the dark film

The glow in the dark film absorbs enough natural light during the day, or when exposed to light for at least half an hour, it will emit light in the dark. Long lasting, enables objects to be seen clearly in low visibility conditions. The light storage film is made of polyester film that is environmentally friendly, highly waterproof, non-radioactive and non-toxic.

Therefore, the luminous film can not only be used in traffic signs, fire signs and danger signs in public places, but also can be used to make beautiful home decorations by yourself.

In public building

For example, in entertainment venues and public places (such as hotels, corridors, office buildings, theaters, warehouses, cabins, underground passages, etc.), the application of luminous films greatly increases the safety of these places.

In your individual home

It can be cut into the required pattern and used for home decoration and embellishment, or affixed to switches, phones, handles, electrical appliances, etc., as well as stationery, toys, and sporting goods to increase the fun of the home. The luminescent film can also be used as a substrate to emit light, giving people a novel and unique feeling at night or in dark places, and has a certain indicating effect.

Different standard of luminescent film 

YSMLITE's luminous film can emit light for 4-12 hours. According to the light-emitting time and the usage scenario, it can be divided into four grades ABCD. Among them, grade AB has a shorter light-emitting time of about 4-8 hours. It is cheaper and suitable for civilian use. Advertisement; CD grade has a longer luminous time of 8-12+ hours and is more expensive because there is flame retardant on the surface. It is suitable for professional commercial and fire-fighting places. Customers can choose different styles of luminous films according to their needs. Welcome to send us information for inquiry.

Why luminous film can glow?

YSM's luminous film can emit light mainly because it uses special photoluminescent materials. These materials can store energy in the molecular structure after absorbing light sources (such as sunlight, indoor lighting), and slowly release energy in a dark environment to produce visible light, thereby achieving a luminous effect.

Luminous principle:

Absorbing light and storing energy: The photoluminescent pigments in the luminous film can absorb the light energy of natural light or artificial light sources and convert it into energy storage inside the molecules.

Slow release: When the external environment becomes dark or the light source disappears, the stored energy will be slowly released in the form of light, producing a visible continuous luminous effect.

Long-lasting luminescence: The specially designed luminous film can absorb light and emit light repeatedly, and the duration can reach several hours, depending on the intensity of the light source and the duration of energy storage.

Material characteristics:

Environmental protection and safety: YSM's luminous film materials are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and meet many international safety standards.

High brightness and long-term luminescence: Compared with ordinary luminescent materials, YSM luminous film has higher brightness in the dark and longer luminescence time.
