Signal Lucence Heat Transfer
Phosphorescent and reflective film
It consists of a patent pending formulation of strontium nitrate photoluminescent pigments and clear microscopic glass beads, which is applied on a durable polymer layer. The heat reactive adhesive is applied on the back side, whilst the protective liner on the phosphorescent and reflective side can be removed after the lamination.
In addition to retro-reflectivity and a fluorescent colors, Coats Signal Lucence Heat Transfer offers a third layer of visibility. It works when there is no primary light source or reduced light.
The photoluminescent material absorbs both natural and artificial UV light through electron excitation which it then emits as an afterglow in low light or zero light. Each time Coats Lucence material is exposed to UV light it will recharge with no need for batteries.
