Product Description

Flashback® Red & Yellow Chevron Prismatic Reflective Tape is a self-adhesive acrylic prismatic reflective tape with a bold red and yellow chevron pattern. It helps make gates, posts, driveways, barriers, equipment and fixed objects easier to see in low-light conditions when illuminated by headlights, torches or other directed light.

It is designed for general visibility marking where formal certification is not required. It is not Chapter 8 compliant and not ECE104 compliant. For regulated HGV and trailer conspicuity marking, use our ECE104 Reflective Conspicuity Tape. For Chapter 8 applications, see our Chapter 8 chevron tape.

Why Acrylic Prismatic?

Prismatic reflective tapes are made with different face films, most commonly acrylic, PVC or PET. Ours uses acrylic. Acrylic is the type of film generally chosen for long-term outdoor use, because it resists UV and weathering well and holds its colour and clarity over time. PVC and PET prismatic films are often cheaper, and PVC is more flexible, but they are generally less resistant to prolonged sun exposure.

The trade-off is that acrylic is stiffer, so it performs best on flat, rigid surfaces. For curves, corners and edges, a more flexible glass bead reflective tape is the better choice.

Key Features

  • Acrylic prismatic construction, chosen for UV and weather resistance outdoors
  • Bold red and yellow chevron pattern for a clear warning-style appearance
  • Available in left-hand and right-hand chevron directions
  • Widths of 50mm, 100mm and 150mm, lengths from 1 to 45 metres
  • Self-adhesive backing for suitable flat, rigid surfaces
  • For general visibility marking where certified material is not required

Left-Hand or Right-Hand?

Choose either left-hand or right-hand chevrons. The material is identical, only the angle of the chevrons is reversed. Using both directions together, for example on either side of a gate or vehicle, creates a balanced, professional chevron appearance.

Uses & suitable surfaces

Suitable for general visibility and identification applications, including:

- Gates, fences and entrances
- Posts, poles and privately owned bollards
- Driveways, yards and site areas
- Barriers, fixed equipment and low-hanging hazards
- Warehouse and workshop marking
- Cars, vans and trailers where regulated tape is not required

Suitable surfaces may include clean, dry and smooth metal, painted metal, rigid plastic, glass, UPVC and other stable, non-porous surfaces.

Adhesion depends on the surface condition, preparation, texture and application temperature. Test a small area before full installation.

For bollards and barriers, use only as supplementary visibility marking on privately owned items where no formal specification applies. Not suitable for clothing, flexible fabrics or washable garments.

Certification & product guidance

This product is intended for visibility marking where no specific approval or certification is required.

It is not Chapter 8 compliant, and it is not supplied as ECE104/R104-approved vehicle conspicuity material, certified traffic-sign sheeting or reflective PPE.

For regulated HGV and trailer conspicuity marking, view our ECE104-compliant vehicle tape. For Chapter 8 applications, see our Chapter 8 tape range.

Public-highway, roadworks, traffic-management and prescribed sign applications may require particular materials, colours, layouts or approvals. Check the applicable requirements before ordering for a regulated application.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tape Chapter 8 compliant?
No. This is a general-purpose chevron reflective tape and is not certified for Chapter 8 regulated use.

Is this tape ECE104 compliant?
No. Where regulated HGV or trailer conspicuity marking is required, select approved ECE104/R104 reflective tape.

What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand?
Only the direction of the chevron angle. Many customers use both together for a balanced pattern.

What is the difference between acrylic and PVC prismatic reflective tape?
Acrylic prismatic film is generally chosen for long-term outdoor use because it resists UV, weathering and yellowing well, but it is stiffer and best suited to flat, rigid surfaces. PVC prismatic film is more flexible and conforms to curves more easily, but generally ages faster in prolonged sunlight. This tape uses acrylic.

Can I use it on cars or vans?
It can be used for general non-regulated visibility marking on suitable hard vehicle surfaces, but not where Chapter 8, ECE104 or any other certified tape is required. Always test first, especially on paintwork.

Can the tape be cut to size?
Yes. It can be cut using sharp scissors or a suitable knife. Take care when using cutting tools.

Can the tape be removed?
Yes, although adhesive residue may remain and some surfaces or coatings could be affected. Gentle heat may help soften the adhesive, but always test first.
