What are the uses of reflective tape?
Safety signs, warehouse equipment, bollards, construction barriers, car parks and outdoor signage are some of the places reflective tape is used. Some grades can be appropriate for vehicles and trailers, if they comply with the conditions for that usage. For non-reflective warning markings, explore our Barricade and Hazard Tapes.
Glass Bead vs Prismatic Reflective Tape
Glass bead reflective tape uses tiny glass beads to reflect light and can be applied to flexible materials, usable on some curved surfaces. Prismatic reflective tape uses tiny prisms to reflect light and is commonly used for road signs and outdoor signage requiring specific reflective performance. Select according to the surface, visibility and application.
Reflective Tape Grades in Australia
Older Australian classifications include Class 1 and Class 2, while AS 1906.1:2017 uses grades such as Class 100, Class 300 and Class 400. Class 2 is historically associated with Class 100. Older Class 1 glass-bead materials are associated with Class 300, while Class 1 prismatic materials are associated with Class 400. These classifications do not automatically mean the products are identical or meet current standards. Always check the product specifications and relevant standards for regulated applications.

FAQs
Class 2 engineer grade tape is a reasonable option for general reflective markings. Certain applications, such as road signs, may need special grades.
No. Reflective tape needs light from headlights or another source to reflect back towards the viewer. It does not glow on its own.
Yes, if it is designed for outside use. Durability will vary by product, surface and weather conditions.
