Pipe Marking Tape & Colour Band Tape

Colour band tape, also called pipe marking tape, is the fastest way to get a pipe identification system in place. There is no artwork to approve and no lead time on a printed marker: the banding goes round the pipe, the colour says what the line carries, and a plant room that was unreadable on Monday is colour coded by Friday.

How it is used. Peel, cut to length, and wrap. No special tools and no trade skill required, which means your own maintenance team can band a run during a shutdown rather than waiting on a contractor. Bands go at valves, at junctions, either side of wall and floor penetrations, and at intervals along a long run.

Colour coding. Pipe colour coding is produced to the ANSI/ASME A13.1-2020 colour scheme, or to a facility colour standard where a site already runs its own convention. Colours are vivid rather than muted, because a band that has to be read across a plant room at a distance is doing a different job from a label read at arm's length.

Material. Self-adhesive PVC, 70 micron, rated from -40°C to +80°C and resistant to chemicals and seawater. The base film is tested to ISO 4892-2: 2006 for weathering and DIN 4102-B1 for flame. Suitable indoors and out, including marine and offshore installations.

Removable when you want it removed. The tape lifts cleanly off the pipe without residue or surface damage, which matters because pipe services get repurposed and banding gets redone. That is a property of how it comes off deliberately, not a sign it will lift on its own: the adhesive holds through washdown and handling.

Banding and printed markers do different jobs and most schedules use both. The band gives you colour identification along the whole run at low cost; a printed marker names the contents in words. Where you need the line contents spelled out, see our pipe markers; for direction of flow, our flow direction arrow tapes; and to identify the valves on the line, our valve tags.
