That matters where the tape is narrow or seen at an angle. The trade-off is a firmer, heavier hand on PVC, so it suits outerwear, vests and bags better than a soft knit panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMicro-prismatic is the more efficient construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrismatic tape returns light more efficiently than glass bead at the same area, which is why it is the usual route to a higher class. The trade is a stiffer hand and a surface that shows scuffing sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to confirm before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasured coefficient and test method:\u003c\/strong\u003e a figure without its method is not comparable between suppliers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWash cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e domestic or industrial - the adhesive changes with the cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate or shell fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e send it, so the bond can be matched rather than assumed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth and slitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e state the finished width, since slitting changes the edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is micro-prismatic sheeting, stated at over 300 cd\/(lx·m²) — below the 330 cd\/(lx·m²) floor that EN ISO 20471 sets for retroreflective material, so on its own it cannot carry a 20471 claim. Prismatic sheeting also behaves differently from glass bead as the viewing angle opens, so the figure has to be read at the observation angle the application actually uses, not at the peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the finished article has to carry an EN ISO 20471 or ANSI\/ISEA 107 claim, say so before the order: the grade and the evidence are chosen together, and changing either afterwards means a new build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated builds: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/checkerboard-prismatic-reflective-pvc-tape\"\u003eCheckerboard Prismatic Reflective PVC Tape\u003c\/a\u003e.
