Self-adhesive PET Photoluminescent Film
PET Photoluminescent Film: Great for Cutting & Eco Friendly
MINHUI's pressure sensitive PET photoluminescent film is made of soft and flexible PET plastic and our strontium aluminate glow in the dark powder. It is suitable for engraving, plotter cutting, and die-cutting, etc, and the products made have clean edges without stretching or cracking.
PET photoluminescent film is non-toxic, non radioactive and environmentally friendly. After 10-20 minutes of light exposure, it can glow in the dark for over 12 hours (decay to 0.3mcd/sqm).
Applications span safety-critical and commercial uses including: evacuation route markings, staircase edge indicators, equipment position labels, decorative glow stickers, toys, branded consumer packaging, etc.
Key Features:
1. High luminance: ISO 17398/PSPA Class B to Class E.
2. Non-tearable, glossy and smooth surface: can be cleaned with detergent.
3. Long service life: 6~8 years indoor, 4~6 years outdoor, can be applied in-20~65℃ environment.
4. Environmentally Friendly: halogen-free material, no toxic HCI fumes.
5. Strong adhesive: easy & quick installation, stable bond to smooth surface with no primer required.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: PET photoluminescent film is a soft self-adhesive glow-in-the-dark plastic vinyl made with strontium aluminate phosphor and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic substrate. It absorbs ambient light during the day and re-emits it as a visible yellow-green glow in darkness for over 12 hours(decay to 0.3mcd/sqm), with no electricity required.
It is non-toxic, non-radioactive and eco-friendly. PET glow in the dark film is widely used for making evacuation route markings, floor-path indicators, decorative stickers, toys, consumer products, etc.
A: 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 |
| D | 1,100 | 260 | 85 | 35 |
| E | 1,800 | 400 | 120 | 55 |
| F | 2,300 | 520 | 155 | 70 |
| G | 3,000 | 650 | 190 | 80 |
Minhui's MHF PET film covers Class B (MHF-GP030) through Class E (MHF-GP500), the class for each model is shown in the specification table. For applications requiring higher luminance, please use our photoluminescent rigid sheets.
A: PET glow in the dark film is flexible and thin, with a smooth and glossy finish. Therefore, we recommend it for cutting process such as die-cutting, plotter-cutting, engraving, etc.
For printing application we recommend using our PVC based glow in the dark film.
If you strictly require PET glow in the dark film for printing, we have a specialized model for printing, printable with PET printing ink. Please consult us for more details.
A: The honest answer is: it depends on how you measure it, and most suppliers aren't measuring it at all.
Our photoluminescent film exceeds 12 hours of afterglow (decaying to >0.3 mcd/m²) under standardized test conditions(excitation at D65 1,000 lux for 5 minutes). But a glow duration figure stated in hours alone is a marketing term, not a technical one, and here's why it matters.
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.
