Reflective Tape Types

HiVis TapePublished by: TRu Brands, 27/4/2023 7:04 AM

Reflective tapes play a crucial role in workwear of various industries, with standard tape, perforated tape, and segmented tape being the most widely used types. Reflective tape enhances visibility in low light conditions, perforated tape facilitates air circulation to keep workers cool in hot environments, and segmented tapes are lightweight as they are heat sealed on and provide enhanced movement and flexibility. These types of tapes enhance safety and productivity in different industries by addressing specific needs and requirements.

Reflective Tape 

A wide range of industries are required to have reflective workwear. In environments with low light conditions or poor visibility, workers may be at risk of not being seen by others. Reflective tape can help increase their visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. In mining, oil and gas industries, workers often operate in dimly lit underground tunnels or remote areas where visibility can be compromised. Reflective tape is an essential component of their workwear as it helps to enhance their visibility to other workers and machinery, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries.

Perforated Tape

Perforated tape is commonly used in industries where workers may experience high heat stress or sweat levels, such as mining, construction, and manufacturing. Perforated tape is designed with small holes or perforations, which allow air to flow through the garment and keep workers cool in hot environments. These reflective patterns help workers remain visible in low-light conditions. Perforated tape patterns can also help reduce the garment's weight, benefiting workers wearing multiple layers or moving around frequently. Workers can move more freely and comfortably by reducing the garment's weight, increasing productivity, and reducing fatigue.

Segmented Tape

High-visibility workwear with segmented reflective tape is particularly important for workers who require frequent movement or perform physical tasks, such as road construction workers, construction workers, and mechanics who work with heavy machinery. Normally other tapes restrict movements and with excessive stretching and movement peeling and cracking of tape can occur. The segmented tape pattern design allows workers to maintain a full range of motion while remaining visible and comfortable in low-light areas.
