Product Description
Flashback® Black & Yellow Arrow Prismatic Reflective Tape is a bright, self-adhesive tape designed for general visibility, safety and directional marking.
The prismatic acrylic yellow surface reflects direct light from headlights, torches and other light sources. The non-reflective black arrows create a strong contrast against the reflective yellow background, making the pattern easy to identify during the day and in low-light conditions.
This black and yellow reflective tape is suitable for gates, posts, driveways, signs, barriers, workshops, warehouses, equipment and other fixed objects where increased visibility or directional marking is useful.
Please note: This tape is intended for general visibility and directional marking. It is not certified to Chapter 8 or ECE104 standards. If your application requires certified highway or vehicle markings, please choose the appropriate approved reflective tape.
