JVCC REF-7 Engineering Grade Reflective Tape

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).

Custom widths may be available

This tape often comes to us as full log rolls (not pre-cut) so it may be possible to cut the tape to a width not shown in the pricing table below. Also note that since this tape comes in log roll format most rolls will ship on a plain white core. Please use the 'Contact Us' page to inquire about a price and any minimum requirements for this tape in a custom width.

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). Please contact us to inquire about pricing for full-cut widths; e.g. a 6 inch roll cut to 152mm instead of 144mm.

hot melt rubber (synthetic)

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).

natural rubber

Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.

acrylic

Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.

silicone

Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.

zinc oxide

Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
