ECE104 approved reflective tapes now also available in Romania

Since 1968, the US based Reflexite Corporation has been the world's leading producer of prismatic retroreflective materials. The Reflexite range of ECE104 approved markings tapes for trucks are now also available in Romania.

Recent studies have proven that vehicles with retro reflective tape have a staggering 21% fewer nighttime accidents. This number speak for itself - not only can reflective markings on trucks improve driver safety and potentially save lives, they can at the same time also reduce the number of days a vehicle has to spend in the garage for repair, reduce the cost per accident, and certainly diminish damage to valuable cargo.

Regulation 104
Reflexite has a full product range which meets the tough requirements of the new ECE104 specification, including products for both trucks with rigid sides and trucks with tarpaulins. The product range is called "VC104". In America, Reflexite has for many years been the market leader in reflective marking tapes for trucks and trailers.In 1993 the US made it mandatory to have such markings on trucks. On the European market Reflexite was the first producers to receive the approval "E" numbers for its retroreflectrive vehicle contour marking tapes according to R.104. The registered numbers E4-104R-00-0001 (for rigid sided vehicles) and E4-104R-00-0002 (for curtain sided vehicles) confirm that the Reflexite product range meets the stringent requirements of the R.104 regulations for reflective markings on vehicles in Romania and the rest of Europe. The approval numbers are stamped into the tapes, making it easy for users to identify that they have a top quality approved product on their truck.

Not only do the VC104 products comply with the new ECE104; they also have features which make them the best choice when it comes to choosing an ECE104 approved tape.

Product features VC104
The Reflexite VC104 tapes have been produced as single layer products, with 100% adhesion on the back. This means that there is no risk of any dirt or moisture penetration between layers; something that could potentially damage the tape. The thin structure also makes it very easy and quick to apply the tape even around rivets on the truck. In addition, Reflexite also offer an extensive warranty on the products.

Reflexite in Romania
In connection to the recent introduction of the ECE104 regulation, Reflexite has now launched the VC104 range to the Romanian market. Reflexite's Sales Manager for the Truck Industry , Andrew Huddlestone, says: "Romania is a very interesting market, and we have been working very intensively over the past 6 months to build up our distribution net here. What we can offer the Romanian industry is a very strong and well established product line for the trucking industry, backed with our many years of experience from similar markets throughout the world."
