Photoluminescent Fire Sign: Open Valve Before Running Out Hose

This self-adhesive photoluminescent vinyl fire sign is designed for marine environments where clear emergency instructions are critical. The sign reads 'Open valve before running out hose' in bold white text on a red background, ensuring immediate recognition during fire response. The photoluminescent material absorbs ambient light and glows in darkness, providing visibility even in power loss scenarios.

Made from durable, UV-resistant vinyl with a strong acrylic adhesive backing, this sign adheres securely to smooth surfaces like painted metal, glass, or plastic. It withstands humidity, temperature fluctuations, and saltwater exposure common aboard ships. Measuring 100x300mm (approx. 4x12 inches), it fits standard locations near fire hose stations. Complies with SOLAS and IMO signage requirements for fire safety.

What surfaces can this sign be applied to?

It sticks best to clean, smooth, dry surfaces such as painted metal, glass, and hard plastics. Avoid rough or oily surfaces. For best results, clean the area with alcohol and allow to dry before applying.
