Professional Reflective Tape for Fleet Marking

3M 983-10 ES Conspicuity Reflective Tape is a premium grade retroreflective product designed for commercial vehicle conspicuity marking. The white microprismatic material meets DOT-C2 requirements for truck and trailer visibility. Acrylic adhesive provides reliable bonding to fleet surfaces.

Sustained Outdoor Reflectivity Performance

The microprismatic construction maintains retroreflective performance through continuous exposure to weather, road debris and cleaning cycles. Adhesion strength ranges from 2.5 lb/in on FRP to 6.0 lb/in on stainless steel, resisting edge lift during high-speed operation and pressure washing. Acrylic formulation resists UV degradation and temperature cycling.

Microprismatic Construction with Continuous Length

Retroreflective microprismatic backing at 18 mil thickness provides durability against abrasion and impact. Continuous 50 yard roll eliminates seams on long vehicle sides. Three inch width matches standard conspicuity striping requirements. White finish ensures maximum contrast for night-time recognition distances.

Questions about this item

Does the 18 mil thick acrylic adhesive soften or lose grip after continuous highway heat?

The acrylic adhesive is rated for outdoor exposure and delivers 2.5 lb/in on FRP up to 6.0 lb/in on stainless steel, maintaining bond through temperature cycles.

What surface preparation or primer does the 3 in wide tape require before application?

Apply to clean, dry, degreased surfaces; the tape adheres directly to aluminum, stainless steel, prepainted panels, Tedlar and FRP without additional primer.

Will the white retroreflective microprismatic material stay visible on a trailer that already has older DOT striping?

The white microprismatic sheeting provides its own retroreflection and can be applied alongside existing markings without interference.
