Radium tape refers to a type of adhesive tape that is coated with radium or radioactive isotopes. Historically, radium was used in various products for its glow-in-the-dark properties, as it emits a faint radioactive glow through a process called radio-luminescence. This glow is due to the decay of radium, which emits alpha particles that excite phosphorescent materials, causing them to emit visible light.

Radium tape was often used in applications such as :  

Watch dials and hands : To allow visibility in low-light conditions, like on clocks and watches.

Instrument markers : On aircraft, military equipment, and measuring devices to make readings visible in the dark.

Safety markings : On machinery, vehicle parts, and emergency exits to provide visibility in low-light or emergency situations.

Key Features :  

Radioactive glow : Radium emits a characteristic faint greenish-blue glow in the dark.

Adhesive backing : Like tape, it has a sticky side for easy application.

Visibility : It was primarily used to make certain items visible in the dark, especially in low-light or emergency situations.

Health Risks :  

The use of radium in consumer products has been largely discontinued due to the dangerous health effects of radiation exposure. Prolonged exposure to radium can lead to serious health issues, including radiation poisoning, cancer, and other diseases associated with radiation expo
