Really good news for the visibility and safety of firemen

New and improved retroreflective tape for fire fighter garments now being launched by Reflexite.

Fire fighters have one of the most important and dangerous jobs in the world - saving lives! Every day fire fighters put their own lives at risk, in order to save the lives of others.

Reflexite are constantly working on providing the best possible protection of these invaluable people, and have now developed an extra visible and superior quality reflective tape for this application.

Reflexite FTP1200 Advanced

The new and improved Reflexite FTP1200 Advanced provides enhanced day- and nighttime visibility for firefighters working in extreme conditions. This not only helps them to locate co-workers, but also makes them highly visible to people in need of their help.

In addition, it keeps the firefighters safe by allowing them to be seen clearly from a greater distance by motorists.

The new tape benefits from a tough construction and it is 100% abrasion resistant. It can endure more washes, therefore giving it an increased life span. It has a dirt resistant surface, therefore keeping it completely visible at all times.

What differentiates this unique retroreflective tape from other tapes in the fire garment market is that is it based on the microprismatic technology, meaning that it not only reflects more than the traditional tapes, but also that it has it's reflective elements integrated onto the back of an outer protective surface, so that the reflective elements cannot be damaged in daily use.

It comes in an intense, vibrant fluorescent colour, meaning additional visibility also in the low light and smoky conditions in which the firemen most often work.

Last but not least, the Reflexite FTP1200 Advanced will go on reflecting even when wet! This is not the case for the traditional old type reflective tapes, and it solves a problem which most fire services have been facing.
