Product Description
Flashback® Hi-Vis Yellow Prismatic Reflective Tape is bright fluorescent yellow by day and highly reflective at night. Its acrylic prismatic surface sends headlight and torch light straight back towards the source, so marked objects stand out clearly in the dark.
Independently measured at over 500 cd/(lx·m²) when new, it is a self-adhesive tape for indoor and outdoor visibility marking where no particular certification or approved material is specified.

Why Acrylic Prismatic?
Prismatic reflective tapes use a face film of acrylic, PVC or PET. Ours is acrylic, the film generally chosen for long-term outdoor use because it resists UV and weathering and holds its colour and clarity. PVC and PET films are often cheaper, and PVC is more flexible, but both are generally less resistant to prolonged sunlight.
The trade-off is stiffness. Acrylic performs best on flat, rigid surfaces. For curves, corners and edges, our more flexible glass bead reflective tape is the better choice.
Key Features
- Over 500 cd/(lx·m²) at 0.2°/−4° when new, measured by SATRA to CIE 54.2
- Fluorescent hi-vis yellow for strong daytime colour
- Acrylic prismatic face, chosen for UV and weather resistance
- Self-adhesive, for clean, smooth and rigid surfaces
- Widths from 25mm to 300mm, cut to length from 1 to 45 metres

Test data
The coefficient of retroreflection (RA) shows how much light the tape returns towards its source. The higher the figure, the brighter the tape looks to someone near the light, such as a driver behind their headlights.
Values are in cd/(lx·m²), measured in two orientations: x (along the length of the tape) and y (across it).
| Observation angle | Entrance angle | x orientation | y orientation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.2° | −4° | 522.7 | 510.9 |
| 0.2° | +30° | 223.0 | 140.7 |
| 0.33° | +5° | 242.6 | 242.7 |
| 0.5° | −4° | 184.4 | 165.3 |
RA values measured by SATRA Technology Centre to CIE 54.2 on a production sample, report no. SPC2048844/67550/1. Measurement uncertainty ±8%. These are typical values for new material from the sample tested, not a specification or guaranteed minimum. Dirt, abrasion and weathering reduce reflectivity over time. Prismatic material is orientation sensitive, so performance at wide angles can vary with the direction the tape is applied. No performance class or standard is claimed.
