PermaStripe® Floor Marking Tape Outdoor Application

We have spent many years marketing our PermaStripe floor marking tape for indoor use, and over the years we have created a strong confidence in the performance of PermaStripe in internal areas, our customers are a true testament to that fact! More recently, we have been testing its application in external environments, and we are happy to announce that it works just as well outdoors as it does indoors! Our surface primer lends a very big hand in the success of the application. By sealing the surface PermaStripe is to be applied on, you are eradicating the possibility of the adhesive becoming exposed to moisture and failing. This makes sure the application is durable and long lasting when exposed to the elements. Once applied, the properties that make PermaStripe what it is come in to play. The 0.043” thick industrial grade plastic film will easily cope with high traffic areas, it’s chamfered edge preventing it being lifted from the surface it’s applied to.

Potential outdoor application for PermaStripe

There are many workplaces which have a yard that has a concrete surface, and concrete is a perfect surface to apply PermaStripe too, as in most circumstances it is a flat, smooth surface that ensures a strong bond will be achieved between surface and material. Some example areas that come to mind are lumber & construction yards and airports. All these areas have large concrete spaces that have a lot of traffic on them, with safety and organization a concern, by marking out specific routes whether they be for people or vehicles, you can ensure that by doing so, processes can be carried out much more safely and efficiently. Marking certain routes in specific floor marking tape colors can also help to notify people on foot or in vehicle about the designated area, caution zones ( yellow ), emergency access points ( red/white ) and areas where specific potential hazards are present ( black/yellow ) are 3 examples of demarcation in the workplace.
