Product Description
Flashback® ECE104 Reflective Conspicuity Tape is a premium self-adhesive reflective tape designed for regulated vehicle conspicuity marking on HGVs, trailers and commercial vehicles. Made with a bright prismatic reflective surface, this tape helps improve vehicle visibility in low-light, night-time and poor weather conditions when illuminated by headlights or other direct light sources.
This ECE104 reflective tape is suitable for outlining and marking the sides and rear of large commercial vehicles, trailers, lorries and other regulated vehicles where approved conspicuity tape is required. The strong pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows secure application to suitable clean, dry and smooth vehicle surfaces.
Important: ECE104 conspicuity marking requirements can depend on vehicle type, weight, use, country and application. The buyer or installer is responsible for checking that the correct colour, placement and quantity of tape is used for their specific vehicle and legal requirements.
