Heskins H6612 Microprismatic Reflective Tape - Engineering Grade Prismatic EN 12899-1 RA1/RA2
Heskins H6612 Microprismatic Reflective Tape is a retroreflective marking tape with extremely high, focused retroreflective values. Micro-engineered three-point prisms across the full surface return around 80% of incoming light towards the source. Heskins classifies it as engineering-grade prismatic (EGP) tape, performing far longer than standard reflective tape - rated for five years of retroreflective life.
The tape has a total applied thickness of only 0.148 mm and conforms to flat, curved or irregular surfaces, as long as the substrate is smooth, clean and dry. It suits static or moving objects: sign posts, bollards, barricades, poles, machinery, floors, buses, trucks, motorcycles and boats. It meets EN 12899-1 for fixed vertical road signs - plain colours to RA1 and fluorescent yellow to RA2 - and is listed against the equivalent standards in the USA, Australia, Japan, Korea, China, South Africa and other markets.
H6612 is supplied in widths from 19 mm to 1210 mm and roll lengths up to 45 m, and can be cut to custom widths and die-cut shapes.
