983-23 ES Reflective Tape for Commercial Vehicles

This 3M reflective tape uses retroreflective microprismatic material on an acrylic adhesive backing. It is designed for truck and trailer conspicuity marking to meet visibility requirements. The fluorescent yellow-green colour provides high daytime and night-time contrast for fleet operators and maintenance teams.

Suits fleets needing DOT-compliant side

Buyers who need a narrower width, a different colour scheme or a non-adhesive mounting method should look elsewhere. The 50-yard roll length is intended for multiple vehicles, so single-vehicle owners may find the quantity excessive.

Apply to clean, degreased metal or painted surfaces

The acrylic adhesive reaches 2.5 lb/in on FRP, 3.0 lb/in on Tedlar and prepainted panel, 3.5 lb/in on aluminum rail, 5.3 lb/in on degreased aluminum and 6.0 lb/in on stainless steel. Poor surface preparation is the most common cause of edge lift or premature failure.

Questions about this item

What surface do I need on my trailer for the 2 in wide 983 tape to stick to?

The acrylic adhesive bonds to aluminum rails, stainless steel, degreased aluminum, prepainted panels, Tedlar and FRP — clean the surface first.

Will the 2 in fluorescent yellow-green 983 tape match the retroreflectivity of older DOT-C2 tape on the same rig?

Both use microprismatic retroreflection, so night-time appearance stays consistent across the vehicle.

How can I confirm the 16 mil thick 983 tape is performing correctly once applied?

Shine a headlamp at night; the fluorescent lime surface should return a bright, uniform cone of light back to the driver.
