ProSolve Barrier Tape Red & White Non Adhesive 500m x 72mm
ProSolve Barrier Tape Red & White Non Adhesive 500m x 72mm is a highly visible warning tape designed for temporarily marking hazards, restricted areas and controlled work zones. Featuring bold alternating red and white stripes, it provides an immediate visual indication that an area should be approached with caution or that access is temporarily restricted.
The tape is suitable for use on construction sites, in warehouses, around maintenance work, at public events and across many other commercial or industrial environments. Its non-adhesive construction makes it quick to install between suitable supports such as traffic cones, posts, temporary fencing and barriers. Once the work has been completed, it can be removed without leaving adhesive residue on the supports.
Highly visible red and white design
The contrasting red and white striped pattern makes the tape easy to recognise from a distance. This familiar colour combination is commonly used to draw attention to temporary hazards, works in progress and areas where public or unauthorised access should be discouraged.
Good visibility is especially important on busy sites where workers, visitors, customers or pedestrians may need a clear indication of changing conditions. Barrier tape can help define the perimeter of a work area, direct people away from a temporary obstruction or make a potential hazard more noticeable.
The tape is not printed with a specific warning message, allowing it to be used for a wide range of general cordoning and identification tasks. Any required safety signs should be displayed separately and positioned so that the nature of the hazard or restriction is communicated clearly.
Non-adhesive barrier tape
ProSolve Barrier Tape has no adhesive backing. It is intended to be tied, knotted, wrapped or otherwise secured around appropriate supports rather than stuck directly to a surface. This makes it easy to install over long distances and simple to reposition if the size or layout of the restricted area changes.
The non-adhesive format is also helpful where tape residue would be undesirable. It can be attached to suitable cones, stakes, posts, temporary fencing or established barriers without applying a sticky coating to them. Secure fixing remains important, particularly outdoors or in exposed locations where wind could pull loose tape away from its supports.
Suitable for temporary hazard marking
This red and white barrier tape can be used to highlight numerous temporary hazards and controlled areas. Common examples include excavations, floor repairs, wet surfaces, maintenance zones, recently treated areas and locations containing building materials or equipment.
It can also be used to mark temporary pedestrian routes, reserve access around loading areas or define boundaries during events and facilities-management work. The tape should always form part of a suitable site-control system based on the risks present and should not be considered a complete safety solution on its own.
Where a hazard presents a risk of falling, vehicle impact or physical entry, rigid barriers or compliant safety fencing may be required. Lightweight barrier tape provides a visual warning but does not offer physical protection or prevent a person from entering an area.
Indoor and outdoor use
ProSolve Barrier Tape is suitable for temporary use indoors and outdoors. Its polyethylene construction provides useful water resistance, allowing it to remain visible during changing weather conditions. This makes it suitable for temporary external work such as landscaping, groundworks, deliveries and general site maintenance.
Exposure conditions should still be considered carefully. Strong wind can place considerable force on long, unsupported runs of tape. Outdoor installations should therefore use secure supports positioned at sensible intervals. Inspect the barrier regularly and replace or resecure any section that has stretched, torn, sagged or become difficult to see.
For longer-term exterior cordoning or locations exposed to severe weather, a more substantial barrier system may be appropriate. This tape is intended principally for temporary visual identification rather than permanent site segregation.
Generous 500m roll
The extra-long 500m roll provides enough material to mark large work areas or complete multiple smaller jobs. It is particularly practical for building sites, facilities teams, event organisers and contractors who regularly need to create temporary exclusion zones.
At approximately 72mm wide, the tape provides a prominent visual line without being unnecessarily bulky to handle. It is supplied in a dispensing box that helps protect the unused tape, control the roll and make deployment more manageable. Only the required length needs to be removed, reducing unnecessary waste.
How to install ProSolve Barrier Tape
Begin by assessing the area and selecting secure fixing points around the required perimeter. Suitable supports may include traffic cones fitted with tape holders, temporary posts, fencing panels or stable structural features. Do not attach the tape to anything that could be damaged, destabilised or pulled over.
Unwind the required length from the dispensing box and secure the starting end firmly. Draw the tape between the supports so that it remains clearly visible, but avoid excessive tension that could cause stretching or tearing. Continue around the required area and tie or secure the finishing end.
For large areas, use additional supports to stop the tape sagging. Avoid positioning it where it could become a trip hazard, obstruct an emergency route or interfere with vehicles, machinery or working equipment. If the tape crosses a recognised access point, provide an appropriately controlled entrance rather than encouraging workers to climb over or underneath it.
Site safety considerations
Barrier tape should be used following a suitable risk assessment. It is intended to warn and guide people, but it does not replace safety fencing, pedestrian barriers, guardrails or excavation protection where these controls are required. Appropriate warning signs, lighting, supervision and access arrangements may also be necessary.
The red and white colour pattern should not be assumed to communicate every specific hazard. Ensure workers and visitors understand why an area has been restricted and what actions they must take. Emergency exits, firefighting equipment and essential access routes must remain unobstructed.
Inspect installed tape throughout the period of use. Replace it if the colour becomes obscured, the material tears or the barrier no longer follows the intended boundary. Remove the tape promptly once the restriction is no longer needed so that warning systems remain credible and relevant.
Storage and disposal
Keep unused barrier tape in its dispensing box and store it in a clean, dry place away from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Protect the roll from sharp objects that could cut several layers and make later dispensing difficult.
After use, collect all removed tape rather than leaving loose sections on the ground. Loose plastic tape can create a trip hazard, become entangled with machinery or escape into the surrounding environment. Dispose of used material responsibly in accordance with local waste arrangements.
