Join the Safety Revolution
ESA M6033-ND is a phosphorescent self adhesive material that can be used to produce self adhesive stickers, badges, marking tapes and signage ESA M6033-ND uses phosphorescent technology that absorbs UV light from natural or artificial light which is then emitted as an “afterglow” in low or no light conditions.
Suitable applications

Printing
M6033-ND film is suitable for screen printing or digital printing. It can be cad cut to produce shapes, logos and text.
M6033-ND is available with a clear overlay film to protect the product from UV degradation and contamination.

How ESA NT works
The phosphorescent element in ESA NT contains Strontium Nitrate based pigment and other chemicals formulated to meet our exact specifications for maximum glow intensity, extended decay time and laundry performance.
The formulated pigments have a high capacity for absorbing and storing light energy. The atoms in the pigments absorb photon energy from an ultra violet light source. The light source can be natural daylight or artificial UV light such as fluorescent strip lights. These electrons act like a battery effectively storing light energy.
This energy is then emitted as light, once there is no more light to absorb. The light that is given out is called an afterglow. The chart below gives charging times to achieve a full 8 hours of however ESA NT will absorb light from the surrounding environment in less than one minute.
The afterglow can be seen in reduced light conditions such as, a dimly lit warehouse; in the shadow of large machinery; inside abandoned buildings, underneath large aircraft; on an unlit road at dusk; low level smoke.
The afterglow can be seen in complete dark conditions such as, unlit roads, railway tracks, tunnels, nighttime work away from spot lights.
