What is the difference between MHP-7371 and MHP-8129 glow in the dark HTV?

Both are glow in the dark HTV with the same ISO 17398 Class C luminosity. MHP-8129 has a reflective glass-bead surface that adds higher wash and abrasion durability, while MHP-7371 has a smoother finish and softer hand feel. Choose the model that fits your needs, or contact us, and we will recommend the right one for you.

Q: Does glow in the dark HTV need power to glow?

No electricity or batteries are needed for it to glow. Our glow in the dark HTV is made with strontium aluminate photoluminescent pigment, which charges from daylight or indoor light and then releases that energy as an afterglow in the dark. It can act as an emergency lighting and safety back-up during emergencies or in dark environments.

Q: How bright and how long can photoluminescent heat transfer vinyl glow?

MHP-8129 photoluminescent heat transfer vinyl meets ISO 17398 Class C: over 150 mcd/m² at 10 minutes and over 20 mcd/m² at 60 minutes. The afterglow stays visible for over 12 hours, measured down to the 0.3 mcd/m² perception threshold. Always compare glow material by measured mcd/m² values rather than glow-hour claims alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can photoluminescent reflective fabric glow?

MHP-8130 photoluminescent reflective fabric is made with strontium aluminate photoluminescent pigment, which charges from daylight or indoor light and then releases that energy as an afterglow in the dark. Its afterglow intensity is tested to meet ISO 17398 Class C, which is over 150 mcd/m² at 10 minutes test point and over 20 mcd/m² at 60 minutes test point.

The afterglow stays visible for over 12 hours, measured down to the 0.3 mcd/m² perception threshold, which is the minimum level of light that the human eye can recognize. Therefore, this dual-function fabric can act as an emergency guidance and safety back-up during emergencies or in dark environments.

What is ISO 17398 and what does Class C mean?

ISO 17398 is the international standard that classifies photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) safety materials by how bright they glow and how long the glow lasts. Each class specifies the minimum luminance (mcd/m²) the photoluminescent material must maintain at 2, 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the light source is removed.

Class C is a sub-classification from ISO 17398, which is the afterglow intensity level required for safety signage and evacuation systems.
