Technical Specifications
BARRICADE TAPE –Series
Material thickness: Nominal 4 MIL
I. SPECIFICATIONS:
Barricade warning tapes will consist of high visibility safety polyethylene with bold black letters or solid color. Standard letter height is two inches (2"). Tapes help prevent accidents by increasing visibility of hazards and can be tied, stapled or nailed in place.
