Polyken 510 Neon Orange Gaffer Tape | UV Blacklight Reactive

Polyken 510 Neon Orange Gaffer Tape | UV Blacklight Reactive

Polyken 510 Neon Orange is a UV blacklight-reactive neon orange gaffer tape — an 11.5 mil matte-finish vinyl-coated cloth tape with a natural rubber adhesive, trusted by stagehands, lighting designers, AV crews, and event production teams worldwide. This fluorescent neon orange tape stands out instantly under stage lighting or UV blacklight while the matte, non-reflective surface keeps light scatter minimal on camera — ideal for spike marks, cable runs, hazard marking, and color coding in low-light production environments. Built on the same heavy-duty Polyken 510 construction used on film sets and convention floors everywhere, it removes cleanly from most surfaces with no residue, including carpet, stage floors, and road cases. Low VOC content (<1 g/L) can contribute toward LEED® EQ Credit 4.1 compliance.

Key Features of Polyken 510 Neon Orange Gaffer Tape

• UV blacklight reactive neon orange — Fluoresces under blacklight for high-visibility spike marks and marking in low-light and UV production environments
• Matte, non-reflective finish — Low-sheen vinyl-coated cloth backing minimizes light scatter and glare in photography, film, and live event environments
• Natural rubber adhesive — clean removal — Removes residue-free from most surfaces including carpet, stage floors, painted concrete, and road cases
• Heavy-duty vinyl-coated cloth — More durable and water resistant than standard gaffer tape; excellent flexibility and conformability
• High tack — 50 oz/in adhesion to steel; keeps corners down and cables secured through an entire production run
• Easy hand tear — Precise, clean tear for fast application without tools in fast-paced production environments
• Low VOC (<1 g/L) — Can contribute toward LEED® EQ Credit 4.1 (Low Emitting Materials)
• Note: UV reactive, not glow-in-the-dark — Fluoresces under blacklight; does not emit light in the dark without a UV source
