Description
Glow in the Dark – Self Luminous HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) vinyl is the ability to glow in the dark after being exposed to light. This vinyl has a phosphorescent material that absorbs and stores light energy, which is then slowly released as a glow in the absence of light. The longer the vinyl is exposed to light, the brighter and longer the glow effect will be. This makes it a popular choice for creating designs that are visible in low light or dark conditions, such as for safety or decorative purposes. Glow in the Dark HTV is available in a range of colours and can be applied to a variety of garments or fabrics with a heat press or home iron.
