In the field of industrial safety protection, flame-retardant reflective tape is a key material to ensure personnel safety and improve visibility in emergency scenarios. For fire safety personnel and purchasers, it is crucial to choose a product that combines high flame retardancy, strong reflective performance, and long-lasting durability. As the core product of YSM reflective materials, Ysmlite flame-retardant reflective tape has passed international authoritative certification and meets strict industry standards from material technology to functional design.

 

 

Flame retardant performance: dual guarantee of materials and technology

 

Core conditions for high-quality flame-retardant reflective tape

  • Flame retardant substrate selection: A flame-retardant substrate (cotton or aramid) that is resistant to high temperature, low smoke and non-toxic must be used to ensure that it can quickly self-extinguish when encountering fire to prevent the spread of fire.
  • Flame retardant formulation: Nano flame retardant technology or environmentally friendly flame retardants must be evenly penetrated into the substrate to achieve a continuous flame retardant effect.

 

 

Ysmlite's technical realization

Ysmlite flame-retardant reflective tape adopts a double-layer flame-retardant structure:

  • Surface layer: Add high-density glass beads and flame-retardant coating, quickly form a carbonized layer to isolate oxygen when encountering open flames, and the flame retardant time is more than 30 seconds (in line with EN ISO 11611 standards).
  • Base layer: Use pure cotton or aramid substrate and halogen-free flame retardant, and the smoke release during combustion is less than 50Dm²/g (UL 94 V-0 certified) to avoid secondary damage.

 

 

 

High-brightness reflective effect: all-weather visibility

 

Core conditions

  • Glass bead density and refractive index: Beads with a refractive index of ≥1.9 must be used to ensure that the reflection distance is ≥300 meters at night or in low light environments.
  • Weather-resistant coating: The surface layer must have UV resistance and acid and alkali resistance to prevent the reflective layer from falling off due to environmental erosion.

 

Ysmlite's technical advantages

  • Reflective technology: embedded with high-refractive glass beads with a diameter of 50-80μm, the reflective brightness reaches 500cd/lx/m².
  • Three-in-one coating process: combined with UV curing layer, flame retardant layer and wear-resistant layer, it ensures stable reflective performance in an environment of -40℃ to 120℃, and an outdoor service life of more than 5 years.

 

 

 

Durability and applicable scenarios: reliable protection in harsh environments

 

Core conditions

  • Peel strength: The tape must have an adhesion of ≥6N/cm, adapt to curved surface adhesion and not easy to fall off.
  • Corrosion resistance: It must pass the salt spray test (ASTM B117 standard) and withstand oil and chemical corrosion.

 

 

Ysmlite's engineering-grade performance

  • Strong pressure-sensitive adhesive layer: using acrylic adhesive, the initial viscosity reaches 8N/cm, which can be firmly adhered to surfaces such as metal, wood, and glass, and there is no residual glue after peeling.
  • Multi-scenario adaptation: Suitable for high-risk areas such as petrochemicals, power equipment, and fire passages. It has passed IP67 waterproof and dustproof certification and remains functionally stable in extreme humidity or dusty environments.

 

 

 

International certification and compliance: a hard threshold for safe procurement

 

Core conditions

  • Flame retardant certification: must pass fire tests such as EN 13501-1 (European standard) and NFPA 701 (American standard).
  • Environmental certification: Comply with RoHS and REACH regulations to ensure that no heavy metals and hazardous substances are released.

 

 

Ysmlite's global compliance

 

Ysmlite flame retardant reflective tape has obtained:

 

  • EN ISO 11611 (welding and similar process protective clothing material certification)
  • UL 94 V-0 (the highest standard for plastic flame retardancy)
  • SGS environmental testing (heavy metal content is less than 0.1ppm)
  • Provide global buyers with compliance guarantees that can be exported directly.

 

Customized service: meet diverse needs

  • Size customization: supports 5mm-100mm width slitting, suitable for multiple scenarios such as pipeline marking and safety clothing.
  • Color and logo printing: can customize red, yellow, blue and other warning colors, and print corporate logo or safety slogans.

High Quality Fire Resistant Reflective Tape

 

 

Excellent flame retardancy

High standard certification: Our flame retardant reflective tape has passed the flame retardant certification of many international and domestic authoritative organizations, including EN 20471, NFPA 2112, etc., ensuring that it is not easy to burn in high temperature environments and providing reliable safety protection.
Long term protection: The use of advanced flame retardant materials and processes allows the tape to maintain its flame retardant properties after multiple washings and uses, extending its service life.


High reflective brightness

High quality micro prism technology: The use of high-quality micro-prism technology ensures high reflective brightness in low-light environments, significantly improving visibility and safety.
Wide-angle reflection: The well-designed reflective layer ensures that light can be effectively reflected at different angles, providing all-round protection.


Durability and stability

High strength substrate: The use of high strength substrates such as high quality polyester or aramid ensures the tensile strength and wear resistance of the tape, which is suitable for various complex working environments.
Strong weather resistance: The tape has excellent weather resistance and can maintain its stable performance under extreme climatic conditions, suitable for outdoor use.

 

Environmental protection and safety
Non toxic and harmless: Our flame-retardant reflective tape meets environmental protection standards, and no harmful substances are used in the production process to ensure harmlessness to the human body and the environment.
Low smoke and halogen free: Low smoke and halogen-free flame retardant materials are used, which produces less smoke and harmful gases during the combustion process, providing safer protection.
