Product Information

Full details

This Hazard Warning Reflective Safety Tape is designed for professionals needing enhanced visibility in low-light conditions on UK roads and worksites. Its key benefit is superior light reflection for safety-critical applications. A potential caveat is its specific application on suitable surfaces due to the high-tack adhesive. The tape features a prismatic reflective surface, waterproof construction, high tack adhesive, flexible vinyl material, and compliance with UK safety regulations, making it ideal for marking vehicles, barriers, and hazardous areas.

FAQs

What type of surfaces can this tape be applied to?

The tape adheres well to smooth, non-porous surfaces such as metal, plastic, glass, and sealed wood. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.

Is this tape suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the tape is waterproof and weather-resistant, designed to withstand rain, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations for reliable outdoor use.

How long does the reflective property last?

The prismatic reflective surface is designed for durability. With proper care and low maintenance, it should maintain its effectiveness throughout its lifespan, though specific longevity can depend on environmental exposure.

Can this tape be used on flexible surfaces like tarpaulins?

While the vinyl is flexible, the high-tack adhesive is best suited for rigid or semi-rigid surfaces. Performance on very flexible or porous materials may vary and require testing.

How should I clean the reflective tape?

Clean the tape using a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Does this tape comply with UK safety regulations?

Yes, the product complies with UK safety marking standards, providing assurance for its intended use in hazard marking.

What is the size of each roll?

Each roll measures 5cm in width and 25m in length.

Troubleshooting

Tape not sticking properly

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Check for any dust, oil, or moisture. Reapply pressure to the tape, especially along the edges, and allow adequate curing time.

Air bubbles under the tape

Carefully lift the edge of the tape where the bubble is located and reapply, smoothing it down firmly from the center outwards. For small bubbles, a pinprick can sometimes release trapped air.

Reflectivity appears reduced

Clean the surface of the tape gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure no dirt or grime is obscuring the reflective surface. Avoid using abrasive materials.

Tape peeling at the edges

Apply additional pressure along the edges. If peeling persists, it may be necessary to replace the section of tape. Ensure the tape was applied to a compatible surface.

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • Red color may not be suitable for all marking requirements.
  • High tack adhesive may be difficult to reposition once applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or oil. For best results, wipe the surface with a degreaser or isopropyl alcohol and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Application: Peel back a small section of the backing paper. Carefully align the tape with the desired edge or surface. Apply firm, even pressure as you smooth the tape down, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
  3. Adhesion: For optimal adhesion, apply firm pressure across the entire surface of the tape, especially on edges. It is recommended to allow 24-72 hours for the adhesive to fully cure, avoiding heavy traffic or cleaning during this period.

Compatibility:

This tape is designed for application on a variety of surfaces including:

  • Metal (painted and unpainted)
  • Plastic
  • Glass
  • Sealed wood
  • Certain painted surfaces

Avoid applying to highly textured, porous, or flexible surfaces where adhesion may be compromised.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the tape, use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or high-pressure washers, as these can damage the reflective surface or compromise adhesion.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the tape for any signs of lifting, peeling, or damage. Replace any sections that are compromised to maintain safety standards.
