SafetyMark Non-Abrasive Glow in the Dark Anti-Slip Tape

Product Description

Please select both a Size and a Glow Duration below before adding to cart. Each combination has its own SKU, weight, and price.

Long-glow, high-luminance photoluminescent anti-slip tape with a non-abrasive coarse-resilient top surface — certified R10 slip-rated and available in two glow-duration grades so you can match spend to code requirement. Ideal for stair nosings, egress routes, walkways, fire exits, and any location where a lights-out situation must remain clearly illuminated without electricity.

Which glow duration should I choose?

Both grades exceed ASTM 2072 and DIN 67510 luminance requirements. The difference is how long they continue to glow after the lights go out, and how bright they appear during the day.

Understanding the glow-hour numbers. The 30-hour and 7.5-hour figures are the DIN 67510 laboratory-rated durations — the total time the tape remains detectable as luminous under controlled test conditions after a full saturation charge. In real-world installs, where the tape is charged by ambient room lighting for about 90 minutes, expect roughly 8–10 hours of usable afterglow from the 30-hour rated grade and 4–6 hours from the 7.5-hour rated grade. Both are re-charged automatically whenever the lights come back on.

Fast decision guide

• Choose the H3452 30-Hour Rated Glow if your building code specifies DIN 67510 Class C, if the space must remain illuminated for a full overnight blackout (hotels, hospitals, long-corridor egress), or if daytime visibility of the glow strip matters (retail, brand-forward applications).
• Choose the H3454 7.5-Hour Rated Glow if you need dependable 4–6 hour real-world afterglow at a lower cost per foot — the right choice for the majority of commercial and industrial installs where the emergency window is measured in hours, not overnight.

Why non-abrasive matters

Most glow-in-the-dark anti-slip tapes use aggressive mineral grit that shreds gym clothing, causes friction burns on bare skin, damages cleaning equipment, and sheds particulate into filters and drains. Both grades of this tape use a coarse-resilient PVC surface with an embossed orange-peel texture that delivers R10-rated grip without any of those drawbacks.

• Kind to skin — safe for bare feet, hands, and shins
• Kind to fabric — no snagging on clothing, mop heads, or floor scrubbers
• Hygiene-friendly — smooth top surface wipes clean; no grit pockets to harbor bacteria or residue
• Chemical-resistant PVC — withstands standard cleaning agents and disinfectants
• Waterproof — submersible after 24–48 hour adhesive cure

Ideal applications

Stair nosings and egress stairs

The most common use for high-quality Glow in the Dark anti-slip tape. Apply the front edge of each step so the stair path stays visible during power loss or smoke conditions. The 30-Hour Rated Glow (H3452) is the class-leading choice for code-driven life-safety installs; the 7.5-Hour Rated Glow (H3454) suits standard commercial stairs.

Fire exit routes and corridors

Line the leading edge of egress corridors, above baseboard height or at floor level, so occupants can find the exit path when overhead lighting fails. The photoluminescent charge is drawn from ambient corridor lighting during normal hours.

Machinery aisles and warehouse walkways

Non-abrasive coarse-resilient surface means forklift traffic and warehouse foot traffic both pass without wearing out the grit or shredding safety apparel.

Hotels, hospitals, cruise ships, and assisted-living facilities

Long-blackout resilience matters most here. The 30-Hour Rated Glow (H3452) is the right choice — its 8–10 hour real-world afterglow covers an entire overnight power loss without recharge.

Retail, entertainment venues, museums

Brand-forward installations where the daytime green tint of the glow strip must look intentional and clean. The higher LRV of the 30-Hour Rated Glow reads brighter in normal lighting.

Installation notes

• Apply only to clean, dry, room-temperature surfaces (50°F / 10°C or above)
• For porous surfaces (wood, concrete, stone), prime with a solvent-based cleaner before applying to create a stable substrate
• Firm-press or roller-press to activate the adhesive along the full length
• Allow 24–48 hours cure before subjecting to water contact or heavy traffic
• To activate the glow, expose the tape to natural or artificial light before use — approximately 90 minutes of ambient light provides a full charge

FAQ

Q: What is the practical difference between the 30-Hour and 7.5-Hour Rated Glow grades?
A: Glow duration. The 30-Hour Rated Glow (H3452) meets DIN 67510 Class C and provides 8–10 hours of real-world afterglow from a 1.5-hour ambient-light charge. The 7.5-Hour Rated Glow (H3454) meets Class A and provides 4–6 hours real-world. The 30-Hour grade is also visibly brighter in daylight (LRV 60.83 vs 51.4). Slip performance is identical on both.

Q: The rated hours (30 hr / 7.5 hr) don't match the real-world hours you list (8–10 hr / 4–6 hr). Which is right?
A: Both. The rated hours come from the DIN 67510 lab test, which measures the total time the tape remains detectably luminous after a full saturation charge under controlled conditions. In real installations the tape is charged by ambient room lighting for around 90 minutes rather than saturated in a lab — so the usable afterglow is shorter. Plan installations around the real-world figures; use the rated hours when comparing against DIN spec sheets or code categories.

Q: Do I need Class C for my building code?
A: It depends on the jurisdiction. Life-safety codes in some hospitality, healthcare, and high-rise applications specifically require Class C afterglow. For general commercial and industrial installs, Class A (the 7.5-Hour Rated Glow) is typically sufficient. Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) before ordering.

Q: Is this the same as Heskins H3452 / H3454?
A: Yes — iFloortape is the authorized North American source for Heskins high-quality Glow in the Dark anti-slip tape. H3452 (30-Hour Rated Glow) and H3454 (7.5-Hour Rated Glow) are the same products, renamed by their duration so it's clear which one meets your needs.

Q: How long does the glow last after each charge?
A: After roughly 1.5 hours of ambient light exposure, the H3452 30-Hour Rated Glow provides 8–10 hours of afterglow and the H3454 7.5-Hour Rated Glow provides 4–6 hours. The tape re-charges automatically whenever it is exposed to light again.

Q: Is the tape non-abrasive?
A: Yes. Both grades use a coarse-resilient PVC top surface with an embossed orange-peel texture — no mineral grit. It provides R10-rated grip without abrading skin, clothing, or cleaning equipment.

Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: Yes, but for best photoluminescent performance we recommend indoor installations where the tape can be reliably charged by natural or artificial light. Outdoor installations lose glow performance under sustained UV exposure over time.

Q: What about custom widths, shapes, or printed graphics?
A: Custom widths from 0.6" to 47" are available pro rata. Die cuts, sheets, L-shape stair nosings, and custom-printed variants are all supported for larger orders. Contact us for lead times and minimum order quantities.

Q: Where does this tape ship from and how fast?
A: Ships within 24 hours from our USA warehouse.

Q: Is it pet friendly?
A: Yes — the non-abrasive surface is safe for pets to walk on regularly.
