Flashback® Hi-Vis Fluorescent Cloth Marking Tape – UV/Blacklight Reactive

Product Description

Flashback® Fluorescent UV Cloth Marking Tape is a bright, high-visibility cloth tape for temporary marking, colour coding and identification.

Available in pink, green, yellow and orange, this fluorescent cloth tape tears easily by hand, can be written on with a permanent marker and is useful for marking positions, routes, reference points, tools, parts, equipment, glass, frames, panels, work areas and suitable clean surfaces.

FAQ

Does this tape glow without UV light?
The fluorescent colours are bright and highly visible in normal light, but the vivid glow effect requires a UV light or blacklight.

Important Note

This tape is UV-reactive. A UV light or blacklight is required for the glow effect.

As with all cloth tapes, light adhesive residue may remain if left in place for extended periods or exposed to heat. When used for short-term marking on clean glass, metal, floors or painted surfaces, it typically removes cleanly, but results can vary depending on the surface and conditions.

This tape is not sold as anti-slip tape, hazard tape, permanent floor marking tape or certified safety tape. Always test on your specific surface before use.
