LongLife Standard - Rounded Symbols

Forklift traffic mainly stresses corners and edges: that is where a shape starts to lift. The rounded profile has no sharp corners, so it reduces edge lifting and lasts longer.

All shapes are 90 mm wide: T piece, L piece, 90 × 450 mm straight piece, dot and 2-part cross. They come in 9 colours, in packs of 50 pieces.

It marks, with a single element, the point where four locations or two crossing lines meet. It is supplied in 2 parts.

Standard is enough for normal to increased loads from pedestrians, pallet trucks and forklifts. Where forklifts turn on the spot over the shapes, choose Rounded Vector™, made for high shear and torsional forces: shapes and sizes are the same.

In Italy, Legislative Decree 81/08 (Annex XXVIII) requires that, where the use of the premises makes it necessary, vehicle traffic routes are marked with continuous lines in a clearly visible colour, preferably white or yellow depending on the floor, and that obstacles and danger points are marked with yellow/black or red/white bands angled at about 45°. Signs follow Annex XXIV: red for prohibitions, yellow for warnings, blue for mandatory actions, green for escape and first aid. Other colours (for example blue for raw materials, green for finished goods, red for scrap) are not set by law: they are an internal code to define and apply consistently.

The floor must be even, clean and free of dust, oil and grease. First clean thoroughly, then degrease the application strip with LongLife Cleaner. Remove old markings with the scraper and adhesive residue with LongLife Remover. On critical surfaces, such as porous or dusty concrete, LongLife Primer increases adhesion; outdoors it is always required.

Yes. According to ORGATEX, LongLife markings can be removed without residue using LongLife Remover. Markings are lifted with the LongLife scraper, 1200 mm long so you can work standing up, with a 125 mm blade and 3 spare blades; adhesive residue is dissolved with the Remover. On delicate floors test it in a hidden spot first.

Adhesive marking has no drying time: tapes and symbols are applied without chalk lines or special equipment and the area can be used straight away (the adhesive bonds fully in about 12 hours). When the layout changes it is removed without residue with LongLife Remover, and colours stay standard and consistent in repeat orders. Choose the line by traffic and floor: if in doubt, we will recommend it.

Yes: LongLife tapes and symbols are stated to be resistant to abrasion and washing; for the symbols machine washing is explicitly declared too. After application it is best to wait the roughly 12 hours the adhesive needs to bond before the first machine wash.

Yes, on request. ORGATEX makes LongLife Individuell tape in 50, 75 or 100 mm with custom colours, symbols or QR codes, and custom shapes in any form, size, colour and material: also with anti-slip surfaces, adhesives for rough floors or photoluminescent materials. Send us the drawing and quantities: we will prepare a quote with delivery times.

Yes. Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the areas to be marked or made safe and tell us how they are used (traffic, vehicles, floor, stairs, exits): we will recommend the right products, with colours, formats and quantities. For larger sites or special situations we can consider a site visit on request.

You can use pre-cut pieces – 45° and 90° corners (Standard), T and L pieces (Standard, Vector™, Heavy Duty, Cold Performance), crosses (Standard and Vector™ Rounded) – or cut the tape with the stainless steel LongLife cutting template, which guides 90° and 45° cuts on 50, 75 and 100 mm widths. For 10 pallet locations there is the marking kit (L corners, straight pieces and A4 windows); on uneven floors or outdoors, LongLife Modul L corners fixed with anchors. ORGATEX recommends not overlapping markings.
