What properties do vinyl tapes have and can they be used for more than just marking communication routes in a hall? Are they resistant to detergents used in production facilities? We answer!

What is a communication route in warehouse halls?

What is a communication route, also called a transport route? These are specially designated routes that are arranged into paths inside or outside the facility. They are extremely important in factories, halls, and warehouses – it is along these routes that utility vehicles with heavy loads move.
The marking of communication routes is done using specialized BHP vinyl tapes. Designating transport routes is extremely important for the safety of employees in the facility and is regulated by appropriate regulations. Forklifts, pallet trucks, and side loaders, as well as other vehicles used for warehouse transport, can move along communication routes. In addition, pedestrians can also use them if separate paths have not been designated for them.

Applications of vinyl tapes

Vinyl tape is one of the most popular tapes used in warehouse halls. Self-adhesive vinyl tapes are used, among other things, for coding, marking, identification, and masking. 3M vinyl tape is not only used for marking communication routes. In addition, it can be used to mark, for example, pipes or elements that may pose a threat to employees (thresholds, low ceilings, etc.). Additionally, vinyl tapes are ideal for masking with thin lines during painting (choose those based on rubber adhesive, they are easy to tear off and leave no residue) and for marking dangerous parts of machines.
