Marking tapes are used to clearly identify areas and provide safety in facilities such as manufacturing workshops and factories. They are highly visible, and mark areas that are off limits, outline isles and recognize potential hazards. They are easy to see at night and are anti-skid, so they prevent slips and falls.
Floor marking tape, which is the most recognized and utilized subcategory of marking tape, is high strength, has high abrasion resistance and is often waterproof. Floors of factories and warehouses often suffer heavy forklift and pallet traffic, and marking tape is designed to tightly bond with the surface so it doesn't come off, curl or split. It serves as a great alternative to using paint because it is also removable without using any sort of chemical, making rearrangement quick and easy. It is often made from vinyl, which puts marking tape in the vinyl tape family. Floor marking tape is often used to mark off or draw attention to isles, carts, benches, racks, trash cans, fire extinguishers and danger zones. Marking tape is not to be confused with masking tape, whose characteristics suit it to two-tone painting jobs rather then marking off areas on the floor. Another tape provided by suppliers with an incredibly strong adhesive is foam tape, whose weatherproofing purposes require stickiness that does not easily come unstuck, just like a marking tape adhesive.
