Leading supplier of high visibility tapes, Reflexite, are introducing a brand new orange shade of reflective tape for EN471 approved garments. The new colour shade is deep and warm, making it really good news for designers of work wear always on the lookout for new design features. It provides a great contrast on yellow background fabric, making the wearers really stand out. On orange fabric it will blend subtly, then shining brightly orange at night.

But above all comes safety. The Reflexite tapes are created with one main feature in focus - keeping the wearer visible and safe, enabling him to focus on the work he performs. It works equally well in wet and dry conditions, and in hazardous conditions where the user needs the protection the most. Other materials just don’t come close to the level of retroreflectivity found in the Reflexite tapes.

Being seen means being safe. And it doesn’t matter whether you work as a paramedic, a road construction technician, or in any other type of job where you are exposed to traffic. You want to stay safe without having to worry about oncoming traffic not seeing you,"  says Reflexite’s European Manager for Personal Safety, Patric van Gelder.

Approved to the highest level of EN471:2003, the new tape – Reflexite® GP340 Orange – adds a discrete colour touch to the PPE. It’s prismatic construction makes it work equally well in all weather conditions, keeping the wearer safe when visibility is needed the most. Millions of people, every day and night, experience the life saving difference of Reflexite.
