Specific Safety Information

Various environmental factors, like line of sight, rain, fog, smoke, dust and visual noise can influence retroreflectivity.

  • The reflective intentsity of retro-reflective tape can also be diminished in extreme weather conditions.
  • Fog, mist, smoke and dust can scatter the light from headlights, the wearer must be aware that detection distance will be severely reduced.
  • Visual noise (contrast variations in the visual field) decreases the contrast of the reflective material with the background and affects the visibility in low-light conditions.  

Maintenance Misuse

  • No harsh mechanical treatment, e.g. abrasion with wire brushes or sand paper.
  • No uniform coating or spraying of oils, protective waxes, inks or paint.
  • No application of products such as leather spray or shoe shine.   

Product Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry area and use within 1 year of receipt.
  • Rolls should be stored in their original cartons, whilst partially used rolls should be returned to their carton or suspended horizontally from the core via a rod or pipe.
  • Cut sheets should be stored flat.
