Our company, in compliance with the directive 92/58/CEE, has studied and produced a new kind of road barrier tape, different from the one commonly used all over the world because visible in the night and in bad weather conditions.

In the recent years, the governments of the European countries have had to conform to the above mentioned Directive, which regulates the necessary requirements of the road marking system and the workplace health and safety conditions.  

The Directive defines the necessary  features of the different road marking signs and the correct ways of signalization.

 

 

 

Here's a short excerpt of the directive (Art. 79 and Art.162): 

 ROAD RULES – PERFORMANCE REGULATIONS

 

Art. 79 (Art. 39 C .d.S.)  

Visibility of the signs

   

  •    All the road signs must be visible and readable both at day and night.

  •   The nocturnal visibility can be secured with one's own lighting devices (transparent or reflective). The reflection is usually obtained with the employment of suitable reflective films.

  •   All the road signs, with the exception of those in force exclusively on the daytime, of those equipped with their own lightning system or placed in illuminated areas, must by all means be reflective so that they appear, at night, the same way they do during the day ( same shapes, colours and symbols).

  •    All the road signs must be made so as to be clearly visible on any kind of road and in any  condition of exposition and environmental lighting.  

All the member states  of the European union must conform t directive 92/58/CEE.

 

That's way ALFAN 2000 decided to study and patent  a new type of reflective barrier tape made in Polyethylene, visible at night and therefore in compliance with the above mentioned rules.

 

 

The numerous tests carried out in the night have shown that the retro-reflective barrier tape is the ideal solution for the marking of dangerous areas and working areas because it can be seen from a remarkable distance and  in bad atmospheric conditions.

 

The high quality material confers to the tape a peculiar brightness and remarkable resistance to the atmospheric agents.
