Product Description
JVCC REF-7 Engineering Grade Reflective Tape is used for safety applications as well as entertainment industry use as spike tape or "daytime" glow tape. Reflective Tape is primarily designed for permanent and temporary traffic signage and features an enclosed lens retroreflective urethane film coated with a permanent acrylic adhesive. Application surface should be flat (not for unpainted stainless steel surfaces). JVCC REF-7 may be screen printed, guillotine cut, die-cut, or thermal kiss-cut. The adhesive has a dwell time of 24 hours, but reaches 75% of its adhesiveness after 15 minutes. Comes on a 3 inch diameter neutral paper core and has a paper release liner. Meets or exceeds requirements of federal specification LS-300C, FP-85, and ASTM D4956-94. Has a 7 year durability. Photos of REF-7 are taken with a flash camera in order to show the reflectivity of the tape; the colors of the tape will be much darker if a high intensity light source (like the flash from a camera) is not being directed at the tape. The colors in order of reflectivity are: white, yellow, orange, green, red, blue (white is around 15 times more reflective than blue). Widths shown in dropdown are in inches. NOTES: Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). This product's actual size is 144mm x 9m. This tape is typically cut to width from log rolls so most sizes ship on a plain white core.

Choose color wisely
By Jake Lewis
This is a great product at a good price.Please note however that different colors have different reflectivity (from the sellers website):White :70Yellow :50Orange :25Red :14Green : 9Blue : 4Thus for safety purposes the white product will be best as it reflects far more light. That said, I believe drivers are far more attentive to blue reflectite (due solely to it's association with the police).

Good reflectivity, poor flexibility
By MEMcKimmy
I purchased this tape to add some additional visibility to my bicycles for nighttime riding.I'm very impressed with the reflectivity of this tape. It's highly visible when illuminated at night, which is what I was hoping for.However, buyers should take seriously the admonition in the item description that the "application surface should be flat." I tried to bend these rules (no pun intended) and discovered some of this tape's limitations. It is relatively thin and somewhat brittle if you try to bend it too much. It flexes reasonably well along its primary axis (i.e. along its length) but trying to bend it width-wise led to some minor tearing.I also had a hard time getting it to stick to the aluminum rack, though the surface was somewhat cold which could have contributed to the decrease in adhesiveness. When I wrapped the tape in such a way that it stuck to itself it worked fine.Overall I would recommend this product, as it's a great bargain for super-reflective tape, but just be aware of these limitations if you're using it for a less-typical application.

quality product
By Charles K. Lam
This is a good durable reflective tape with excellent adhesive ability. It wasn't as reflective as I had hoped but very adequate.
