Product Overview
The BT10RWR Barricade and Warning Tape is an essential safety tool designed for clear communication and site management. This non-adhesive tape serves as a highly visible physical barrier, used to demarcate restricted zones or hazardous areas efficiently. Whether you are managing a busy construction site, cordoning off a chemical spill, or directing foot traffic at a large-scale event, this red and white tape provides an immediate visual signal that cannot be missed.
Key Features
- Generous 500-Metre Length: The substantial roll length allows for the enclosure of large perimeters or long pathways without the need for frequent joins, ensuring a continuous and professional barrier.
- High-Visibility Red and White Pattern: The bold, contrasting colours are instantly recognisable as a warning signal, helping to maintain safety standards and prevent unauthorised access to restricted areas.
- Non-Adhesive Design: By omitting adhesive, this tape can be quickly tied, wrapped, or stapled to various structures and removed just as easily without leaving a sticky residue behind.
- Exceptional Tear Strength: Engineered to withstand the rigours of outdoor use, the tape remains intact even when subjected to wind or minor physical stress, maintaining the integrity of your safety cordon.
Design & Performance
Manufactured from high-quality Virgin PE (Polyethylene), this barricade tape is built for durability. The material choice ensures that the tape retains its colour and strength even when exposed to the elements, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The fabric-like flexibility of the PE allows it to be stretched taut between posts or wrapped around uneven surfaces without snapping prematurely.
At a width of 7.5cm, the tape provides enough surface area to be seen from a significant distance, ensuring that personnel and the public are aware of boundaries long before they reach them. It is a lightweight yet sturdy solution for temporary site management where permanent fencing is neither practical nor necessary.
Why No Customisation?
This barricade tape is a standardised safety product designed to meet universal recognition for hazard awareness. Customising the tape with logos or alternative text could distract from the primary warning function and potentially compromise the visibility of the red and white safety pattern. As a safety consumable, it is intended to be used and replaced as site conditions evolve.
Use Cases
This tape is highly versatile and is used extensively across various sectors. It is particularly well-suited for industrial settings, construction sites, and event management. It is also an essential item for professionals in chemical handling, tree surgery, and emergency services where temporary restriction of an area is required for public safety.

Practical Advice
When deploying the tape, ensure it is tied securely to stable anchor points at a height that is clearly visible to eye level. To prevent the tape from sagging over time, particularly in windy conditions, we recommend applying a slight amount of tension during installation. If you are covering a very large area, consider using multiple anchor points to maintain a consistent barrier height.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and visibility of your barricade tape, store any unused rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat or prolonged UV exposure while in storage can eventually lead to the material becoming brittle or the colours fading, which reduces its effectiveness as a safety signal.
As this is a polyethylene product, please ensure that it is disposed of responsibly once it has served its purpose. Many local facilities can recycle PE, and proper disposal ensures that your site remains tidy and environmentally conscious after the work is complete.
