Unique Features of High-Visibility Class1 Grey Polyester Reflective Tape
Superior Reflectivity and Visibility
When workers need to be seen, reflectivity matters most. High-Visibility Class1 Grey Polyester Reflective Tape stands out because it shines brightly, even in low light or at night. This tape uses advanced retro-reflective technology, bouncing light back toward its source. Drivers and machine operators can spot workers from far away, which helps prevent accidents.
Reflective tape comes in different grades. Prismatic types, like Type 8, offer the highest brightness. These tapes work well at different angles and lighting conditions. Tools such as the 3M Confirm Security Laminate Verifier check the tape’s reflectivity. This tool uses LED lights to make sure the tape meets strict safety standards, like DIN EN ISO 20471. Over time, these checks help keep workers safe by making sure the tape stays bright and visible.
Durable 100% Grey Polyester Construction
TRAMIGO’s tape uses 100% polyester for its backing. Polyester is strong and resists tearing. Workers can sew this tape onto vests, jackets, or bags without worrying about it falling apart. The grey color blends in with many uniforms but still reflects light very well.
Here’s a quick look at the technical details:
Specification Aspect | Details |
---|---|
Backing Fabric | Polyester or Tetron Cotton (TC), noted for durability and suitability for sewing |
Reflectivity Range | 260 to 400 cd/lx/m² |
Certification Standards | Oeko-Tex Standard 100, EN ISO 20471, ANSI 107 |
EN ISO 20471 Class 1 | Requires minimum reflectivity area of 0.10 m², matching the tape's classification |
Reflective Tape Color | Grey, with slightly lower reflectivity than silver but still compliant with standards |
Customizability | Size can be customized based on requirements |
This table shows that the tape meets important safety standards. The tape’s reflectivity falls within the 260 to 400 cd/lx/m² range, which is very bright. The tape also comes in different sizes, so companies can choose what fits best.
Weather and Wear Resistance
Work does not stop when the weather turns bad. High-Visibility Class1 Grey Polyester Reflective Tape keeps working, too. Rain, snow, or hot sun will not damage the tape. Polyester resists water and dries quickly. The tape keeps its stickiness and reflectivity, even after many uses or washes.

Cost per Fatality Prevented | $2.1 million |
Total Incremental Cost (Material + Installation + Fuel) | $30 million annually |
Value of Statistical Life (VSL) | $9.2 million (2014 USD) |
This table shows that retroreflective tape, like the High-Visibility Class1 Grey Polyester Reflective Tape, can prevent 41% of fatal accidents in certain situations. It saves about 14 lives each year and does so at a cost much lower than the value of a human life. Companies also save money by avoiding accident costs, insurance claims, and lost work time.
