Solasflex Retro Reflective tape
Reflective tapes are used in the maritime and offshore industry to increase safety on ships. The Solasflex Retro Reflective tape is part of our SOLAS maritime safety tapes. SOLAS stands for “Safety of Life at Sea” and is used in the marine environment to assist in search and rescue operations. The tape is specifically designed to enhance the visibility of lifejackets, life rafts or life boats. But why should you choose for our Solasflex Retro Reflective tapes? We will tell you in this article.
The Solasflex Retro Reflective tape reflects any light and amplifies it to provide enhanced night-time reflected visible brightness in dark areas, especially poorly lit areas.
Stichable or Adhesive?
The reflective tapes are available in a stitchable and an adhesive variant. This means the Solasflex Retro Reflective tapes can either be sewed on or glued on.
Features of the Solasflex Retro Reflective tape
The SolasFlex Retro reflective tapes are type II approved A658(16). This means the tapes can also be used outdoors, because they are highly weather resistant for continuous outdoor exposure. Because the tapes are designed for the offshore and marine industry, we made sure they have a long lifespan.
All our reflective tapes consist of an encapsulated optical design with a high reflective value that is clearly visible from every angle, both in dry and wet conditions. This very high reflectivity allows the tape to see thousands of feet instead of hundreds. In search and rescue operations, the extremely high reflectivity tape can mean the difference between life and death.
Requirements for reflective tapes:
- The reflective tape must be visible during both the day and night.
- The reflective tape must be visible from all sides.
- The reflective tapes must be positioned in such a way that they highlight the outline of the objects.
