Frequently Asked Questions

The short answer: glow in the dark film's glow duration stated in hours alone without a brightness data is not meaningful and cannot be verified or compared between products. It is a marketing term, not a technical one.
When a supplier claims their photoluminescent film "glows for 4 hours" or "8 hours," that figure is typically based on their subjective judgment, just someone in a dark room deciding when they can no longer see a glow. Human eyes vary significantly in dark-adaptation sensitivity, and what one person perceives as "still glowing" another may consider invisible. Without a calibrated luminance meter and the afterglow brightness statistic, these hour claims have no scientific basis and cannot be verified, reproduced, or compared between products.
The correct way to specify glow duration is: luminance (mcd/m²) at a defined time after a defined excitation. The most used international standard for testing photoluminescent film's luminosity is DIN 67510-1. This allows meaningful comparison between products and suppliers. All Minhui Luminous photoluminescent film data is tested to this standard: excitation at D65 1,000 lux for 5 minutes, with luminance values at 10 minutes and 60 minutes stated for every grade.
When evaluating any photoluminescent film supplier, ask for: luminance in mcd/m² at 10 min and 60 min, the excitation conditions used, and the test standard referenced. A professional supplier will have no hesitation providing it.
Glow in the dark film, also known as photoluminescent film, is a self-adhesive vinyl material that absorbs and stores energy from any ambient light source (natural daylight or artificial indoor lighting) and releases the glow in the dark or during power-outage. The glow requires no electricity, no batteries, and no external power source of any kind.
The glow material used to make the glow in the dark film is strontium aluminate photoluminescent pigment, a rare-earth inorganic compound. When photons from a light source strike the material, electrons in the crystal structure absorb energy and move to a higher energy state. In darkness, these electrons gradually return to their original state and release the stored energy as visible light. Unlike fluorescent materials, which only glow while a UV light source is active, photoluminescent film continues to emit light for a long time after the light source is removed.
Therefore, photoluminescent film is very valuable for safety applications: in a power outage or emergency, it continues to illuminate exit routes, evacuation markings, and safety signs without any infrastructure dependency.
Class C or Class D is a sub-classification from the globally recognized performance grading system for photoluminescent materials. ISO 17398 has listed 4 sub-classification: A through D. The PSPA (Photoluminescent Safety Products Association) has listed 7 classes (A through G). 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 the recommended minimum for safety signage and evacuation systems per ISO 16069, ISO 17398 and PSPA.
| Class | 2 min (mcd/m²) | 10 min (mcd/m²) | 30 min (mcd/m²) | 60 min (mcd/m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 108 | 25 | 7 | 3 |
| B | 210 | 50 | 15 | 7 |
| C | 690 | 140 | 45 | 20 |
