Signal Lucence Sew-on Tapes
Phosphorescent sew-on tapes
It is made from a patent pending formulation of strontium nitrate photoluminescent pigments and clear microscopic glass beads, which is applied on different fabric types such as polyester / cotton, flame retardant cotton and meta-aramid.
Coats Signal Lucence Sew-on Tapes offers a third layer of visibility and 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.
