Brady 78131 Vinyl Marking Tape 2 in 30 Ft Retroreflective

Product Description

The BRADY 78131 is a light-duty vinyl marking tape designed for surface identification and safety marking in industrial and commercial environments. The tape is 2 inches wide and 30 feet long, featuring a red and white striped pattern with retroreflective sheeting. It uses a permanent, aggressive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that bonds to most clean, dry surfaces. At 0.013 inches thick, this tape lays flat and conforms well to smooth substrates. Facility maintenance technicians and safety coordinators are the typical installers for floor and surface marking applications.

This tape is suited for light-duty traffic areas where visual marking or safety delineation is required. The retroreflective surface increases visibility in low-light conditions, making it appropriate for warehouse aisles, equipment boundaries, and restricted-zone marking. It is not designed for anti-slip applications and should not be used as a slip-resistant floor surface treatment. Typical installs are on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as concrete, painted steel, or sealed flooring.

Key Features

• Retroreflective striped sheeting increases visibility in low-light conditions
• Permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive grips to most clean, dry surfaces
• Red and white striped pattern for high-contrast safety marking
• 2-inch width suits standard lane and boundary marking layouts
• Meets ASTM D523 gloss measurement standard
• Non anti-slip construction — for marking use only, not traction

Compatibility

Designed as a light-duty surface marking tape suitable for smooth, clean, dry substrates including painted concrete, sealed floors, and metal surfaces in industrial and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean the substrate thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before application for full adhesive bond. Apply firm pressure along the full length of the tape using a roller or squeegee to eliminate air pockets. This tape is intended for surface marking only and should not be relied upon as a slip-resistant safety measure. Installation in extreme temperatures or on porous, dusty, or oily surfaces may reduce adhesive performance.
