In environments where safety and visibility are crucial, Heskins’ H3403 Glow Line Tape provides a dependable, professional solution. Designed as a heavy-duty floor marking tape, this product combines the high durability of Heskins’ industrial-grade materials with the added benefit of photoluminescent technology. Whether used in factories, warehouses, hospitals, or public buildings, Glow Line Tape enhances safety by ensuring clear visual guidance – even in complete darkness.

What Is Glow Line Tape?

Heskins H3403 Glow Line Tape is a self-adhesive grip material featuring a photoluminescent centre line that glows brightly when ambient lighting is lost. It’s a two-part construction consisting of a durable, non-slip base material paired with a central glowing strip. The outer edges can be supplied in contrasting colours (such as black, yellow, or transparent) to enhance visibility in both lit and unlit conditions.

This combination makes it ideal for marking walkways, exit routes, stair edges, or hazardous areas that must remain identifiable in low-light or emergency situations.

How Does Glow in the Dark Tape Work?

The glow effect in Heskins H3403 is achieved using non-toxic, photoluminescent pigments that absorb and store ambient light energy – either from natural daylight or artificial sources such as fluorescent lamps or LEDs. Once lighting levels drop, the stored energy is released gradually as a greenish glow, guiding occupants safely toward exits or safe zones.

This activation process requires no wiring, electricity, or maintenance, making it a cost-effective and sustainable solution for safety marking. Under normal conditions, the tape can achieve visible afterglow for several hours, depending on the charge duration and surrounding light intensity.

Is Glow in the Dark Tape Toxic?

Safety is paramount at Heskins. Like other glow-in-the-dark and anti-slip products in the range, the H3403 Glow Line Tape is non-toxic and free from radioactive materials. The photoluminescent pigments are strontium aluminate-based, an environmentally safe compound that provides a much brighter and longer-lasting glow compared to older zinc sulphide alternatives.

This ensures that the tape can be used confidently in workplaces, schools, healthcare settings, and any environment where compliance and safety are priorities.

Built for Demanding Environments

Beyond its glow properties, H3403 is manufactured with the same robust standards as Heskins’ heavy-duty floor marking tapes. The self-adhesive backing provides strong, long-term adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, concrete, and sealed wood. Once applied, it resists peeling, scuffing, and wear caused by foot traffic, forklifts, or cleaning processes.

Its slip-resistant surface also offers additional grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls – an essential feature for any safety-critical area.

Practical Applications

The versatility of H3403 Glow Line Tape makes it suitable for:

  • Marking evacuation routes and staircases.
  • Outlining machinery zones and restricted areas in industrial sites.
  • Defining safe walkways in dimly lit corridors or basements.
  • Highlighting edges, obstacles, or hazards that must remain visible during power cuts.

Because it’s easy to apply and doesn’t require specialist tools, the tape can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to daily operations.

A Reliable, Low-Maintenance Safety Solution

Unlike powered lighting or illuminated signage, glow in the dark tapes offer passive safety – they continue to function without electrical power, wiring, or batteries. With proper installation and exposure to ambient light during the day, Heskins H3403 provides years of reliable service with no maintenance required beyond standard cleaning.
