What Are The Application Areas Of Safety Reflective Tape?

Posted on May 2, 2022April 26, 2022

  • Home Category

The reflective tapes have limitless uses and application areas, and it is one of the most commonly used safety reflective tapes. It is used as vehicle safety reflective tape and used in trains, ships, and construction sites. 

 

It can be seen on roads too where there is heavy footfall, and people travel very often. People traveling on bikes or motorbikes also use this to highlight themselves and are also used on the helmets to make them more visible during evening time and in areas with dim lights. 

 

What Are The Types Of Safety Reflective Tapes?

The 3M makes different types of reflective tapes used in different areas and provides long-lasting adhesion with different levels of reflection. For example:

 

Engineer-Grade Reflective Tape

The 3M is making the engineer-grade reflective tape made from retroreflective material with a high gloss finish. These tapes are extremely easy to use as they are pressure sensitive and do not require any additional equipment for the application process. The initial reason for designing these was to increase the visibility of things and objects in poorly light areas like roads and construction sites. 

 

High-Intensity Reflective Tape

This type of reflective tape is made from the micro prismatic retroreflective material. Its base material is highly durable that can quickly work in the high-temperature range from -400F to 1800F. It is used in areas where long-term use is needed. It is not affected by prolonged use, and there is also not very much wear and tear even after decades of use. 

 

Standard Grade Fluorescent Reflective Tape 

It has excellent intensity, and the colours are fluorescent, which is highly noticeable. These are also reflective, and it is in high demand as they can work in outdoor applications for years. 

 

Dot Grade

The dot safety reflective tape is also highly reflective and has excellent adhesion. It is weatherproof, which keeps it very much in demand.

 

What Are The Benefits Of Using Reflective Tapes?

There are several benefits of using reflective safety tapes. The authorities, like transport and rapid action teams that are the first to arrive at the scenes of accidents, encourage people to use such tapes on trailers, trucks, and other vehicles. 

 

These are used in commercial or industrial areas to mark the floors and steps. The employees and visitors are at risk if these areas are not highlighted and brought to notice. 

 

Some more benefits of reflective safety tapes in workplaces include:

  • Guiding the flow of traffic within the facility
  • Highlighting pathways to entrances/exits when the power is out
  • Increasing worker visibility with patches on clothing and PPE

 

What Are The Application Areas?

There is no limit to the use of vehicle safety reflective tapes. The common uses of reflective tapes are:

 

Clothing

The vehicle safety reflective tape can be sewn to children’s clothing and people working in hazardous areas like the maintenance staff of highways and roads. There are high-speed vehicles all around, and by highlighting the people and children, we can reduce the chances of accidents and collisions. 

 

Vehicles and Trailers

The reflective safety tape for trailers and other vehicles is more common than we think. These are applied on the big vehicles’ rear, front, and sides. Although these vehicles already have reflectors, these are only at the rear and front ends, and the sides are still vulnerable. The dot safety reflective tape adds additional safety. 

 

Highlighting Objects and Driveways

People are known to miss the curved or slops on the road. There might also be some signboards and notice boards on the roads; some areas on the road are narrow than the rest, so marking them with the reflective tapes to highlight them will bring people’s attention to them.

 

Bikes and Motorcycles

These are relatively small and fast vehicles, respectively. Others need to notice them, there are usually children on bikes, and it is dangerous to ride a bike that is not visible in the evenings and at night. The same goes with the bikes; these are also small and very fast, giving others less time to manage themselves. 

The reflective tapes provide some extra time once you notice them. 

 

Bike Helmets

The bike helmets should also have reflectors so people behind them can see them. 

 

Boats and Ships

The water vehicles are not in regular use, but they collide and have accidents mid-water, and having reflectors or dot safety reflective tape on them will make them brighter in the dark. 

 

Life Jackets

Once the ships and boats have collided, people usually use life jackets to survive the water until the rescue team notices them having reflective tapes can increase the chances of being spotted. 

 

Sewn To Children’s Bags

These can also be sewn into the bags of school-going children, in winters foggy whether they can be protected on highways. Just mind that the reflective tape colour should be different from the bag so it can stand out more. 

 

Witches Hats / Safety Cones

These are very common on roads and are used as barricades during maintenance work or if police are running some. These are also used at the check posts, and when there is less light at night, these can be pretty invisible. 

You can use reflective tapes to make them appear bright and clear from a distance. 

 

Warehouse Floors

The warehouses have several different areas and regions divided with the help of dot safety reflective tape as these are bright and provide a clear view of the separation line. You can also mark areas like steps or uneven flooring to highlight them for safety. 

 

Conclusion 

The dot safety reflective tape is made of retroreflective material, which reflects the light to the source making the object bearing the reflective safety tape more visible even in poor lighting conditions. 

You can use it for various purposes, as we discussed above. To order more information, click on the given link or contact us!
