Reflective & Fluorescent

Reflective and fluorescent materials play a vital role in improving safety, visibility, and awareness in both public and professional environments. From commercial vehicles and road signage to safety equipment, temporary traffic control, and high-impact promotional displays, these materials ensure that markings remain visible in low light, poor weather, and daytime glare.

ATC supplies a wide range of high-quality reflective and fluorescent products, including specialist films, vehicle marking tapes, photoluminescent vinyl, and safety sheeting. These materials are trusted by fleet operators, signmakers, construction teams, transport contractors, and local authorities across the UK. Our collection includes industry-recognised names such as Oralite, Avery Dennison, Aura, and Ritrama – with options available to suit permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary applications.

Reflective Films for Safety and Visibility

Reflective films are designed to reflect light back toward its source, such as vehicle headlights or worksite lighting. This makes objects more noticeable in darkness or low visibility, reducing the risk of accidents and improving recognition of signs, vehicles, and equipment.

We stock a wide selection of Oralite reflective films, including:

• Oralite VC412RA Ecoflex Reflective Film – An environmentally conscious option offering strong visibility and flexible application.
• Oralite VC612 Flexibrite Reflective Film – Designed for use on curved surfaces and vehicle markings.
• Oralite VC 212 and VC 170 Microprismatic Films – Suitable for high-visibility graphics, chevron kits, and transport safety markings.
• Oralite 5200 Commercial Grade – A reliable, entry-level reflective film for temporary signage and general safety use.
• Oralite 5860 Prismatic High Intensity Grade – Ideal for long-term road signs and outdoor applications requiring high retroreflectivity.

Each film is developed for ease of application, with strong adhesive properties and a durable finish that withstands outdoor exposure, cleaning, and daily wear.

Reflective Marking Tapes for Commercial Vehicles and Equipment

We offer a comprehensive range of reflective tapes designed to mark out vehicles, plant machinery, barriers, and loading bays. These products are used to help meet ECE 104 and other visibility standards for road safety.

Our product range includes:

• Oralite VC104+ HGV Marking Tapes – High-performance microprismatic tapes used to outline vehicle bodies for better nighttime visibility.
• Avery V6700B ECE104 Marking Tape – Designed for rigid-sided vehicles, meeting European safety regulations.
• 150mm Avery T6508 Conspicuity Tape – A wide-format tape ideal for high-risk environments or large vehicles requiring added visual coverage.
• Reflective Chevron Hazard Tape – Available in standard and 610mm widths, these tapes are ideal for rear vehicle markings and worksite machinery, using alternating colours to alert road users or staff to potential hazards.

These tapes are easy to apply and built to last, with options available for rigid and slightly curved surfaces.

Fluorescent Films for Daytime Visibility

While reflective materials excel in dark conditions, fluorescent vinyls stand out in daylight and overcast weather. These materials are particularly effective in improving visibility on temporary road signs, construction sites, and promotional displays.

We stock both short- and medium-term fluorescent options, including:

• Oralite 7510 3-Year Fluorescent Film – A high-quality film suitable for outdoor use on signs and vehicle panels.
• Ritrama CF Series Fluorescent Vinyl – Ideal for temporary signage and promotional use. This monomeric film applies easily and is available in a range of bright fluorescent colours.

Fluorescent films are popular in safety-critical environments as well as for retail and event signage that needs to attract attention in daylight hours.

Photoluminescent and Marine-Safe Options

For specialised safety use, we also supply:

• Ritrama RI 459 Photoluminescent PVC – This film stores light and glows in darkness, suitable for emergency signage and indoor safety wayfinding.
• Oralite FD 1404 IMO Flex Solas Film – Designed for marine safety and SOLAS-compliant applications, providing strong reflectivity in harsh environments and on life-saving equipment.

Built for Performance and Durability

All reflective and fluorescent materials available from ATC are selected for their reliability, ease of use, and long-term performance. Each product is designed to deliver strong adhesion and withstand demanding conditions such as rain, UV exposure, road spray, and industrial cleaning. These films and tapes apply smoothly to a variety of surfaces, including both flat and slightly curved areas, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Many products in the range meet industry regulations, offering peace of mind for professionals who require compliance with safety standards. Whether used outdoors for extended periods or indoors in high-traffic environments, these materials maintain their visibility and integrity over time. They are compatible with standard application methods and tools, allowing for efficient installation without specialist equipment.

Applications Across Multiple Sectors

Reflective and fluorescent materials from ATC are used in various sectors where visibility and safety are key. In the transport and haulage industry, they are commonly applied to commercial vehicles, trailers, and fleets to improve recognition on the road, particularly in poor light. Road safety teams use these materials for temporary and permanent traffic signage, ensuring that warnings and directions remain clear and visible in all conditions. In the construction sector, they are applied to machinery, site vehicles, and work zones to highlight hazards and improve worker safety. Emergency services benefit from high-visibility films and tapes for vehicle markings that support recognition at night and in fast-moving environments. For marine safety, specialist films are used on boats, life-saving equipment, and port signage where water resistance and reliable reflection are essential. Retailers and event organisers also make use of fluorescent vinyls to create signage that stands out in daylight, drawing attention to promotions, entrances, and directional messages in busy areas. Across all of these sectors, the goal remains the same: to ensure visibility, safety, and compliance with the most effective materials available
