Product Description
Flashback® Silver Reflective Tape is a self-adhesive glass bead reflective tape designed for general visibility marking, safety marking and outdoor identification. The silver reflective surface helps improve visibility in low-light conditions by reflecting light back towards the source when illuminated by headlights, torches or other direct light sources.
This silver reflective tape is suitable for a wide range of general marking applications, including posts, gates, driveways, signs, equipment, barriers, workshops, warehouses and other hard surfaces where increased visibility is useful. It is an ungraded reflective tape for general use where formal certification, such as ECE104 or Chapter 8, is not required.
Important: This product is not ECE104 compliant and is not suitable for regulated HGV or trailer conspicuity marking. If you need reflective tape for HGVs over 7.5 tonnes or trailers over 3.5 tonnes, use approved ECE104 Reflective Tape instead.
