As a major transportation hub in the UAE, Abu Dhabi operates not only one of the region’s most important international airports but also a busy deep-water port. With the continuous growth of aviation and shipping activities, safety management has become a top priority, especially regarding visibility of pathways and evacuation signage during nighttime operations or emergencies such as power outages.
Photoluminescent vinyl tape, known for its power-free operation, quick charging, and long-lasting glow, has been widely adopted across Abu Dhabi’s airport and port facilities. After just 5–10 minutes of exposure to natural or artificial light, the tape can glow for 2–12 hours in complete darkness, providing passengers and workers with clear evacuation guidance. This significantly reduces confusion and safety risks in emergencies.
At the airport, glow-in-the-dark vinyl is applied to boarding gates, stair railings, floor pathways, and emergency exit signage, ensuring passengers can still find escape routes during blackouts or smoke-filled conditions. In port areas, it is used along docks, warehouse passages, and container yards, improving both nighttime operations and emergency evacuation efficiency.
