Global Reflective Tape Market: Overview

Visible charts or sign boards or notices are used to guide people or warn about safety issues. Reflective tapes are used to improve the visibility of these safety warning signs. These tapes are particularly useful at night time. These tapes consist of glass beads or micro-prismatic technology, which facilitates reflection of light from the tape surface when light falls on them. Often, reflective materials are employed in industrial uses such as road safety signs, and work gear and vehicle marking and identification. Yellow and silver colors are generally preferred for reflective tapes, as these are prominently visible compared to other colors. Reflective tapes are an important part of warehouses, where they are employed to mark machinery such as forklifts when they are stationary. This can help prevent accidents and injuries by highlighting danger.
