Presco Underground Detectable Tape 6 in 1000 ft

Presco Underground Detectable Tape is a non-adhesive warning tape designed for professionals in construction, utilities, and mining. It marks buried pipes, cables, and wires to prevent excavation damage. The tape features an aluminum backing for detection using non-ferrous locators. It is suitable for accurately locating underground utility installations.

Endures temperatures from -60F to 250F

The tape endures temperatures from -60F to 250F for reliable performance in extreme environments. Durable laminate construction resists degradation in direct burial applications. The aluminum foil core enables consistent signal response for locating equipment. Permanently imprinted black ink withstands soil moisture and chemical exposure over time.

5-mil reinforced laminate with aluminum core

Constructed of 0.8 mil clear virgin polypropylene film reverse printed and laminated to a 0.35 solid aluminum foil core. A 3.75 mil clear virgin polyethylene film completes the laminate for mechanical strength. The APWA color-coded diagonally striped design meets standard identification requirements. Non-adhesive format allows quick placement in open trenches without liner removal.

Questions about this item

How is the 6-inch detectable tape installed, and what step do crews often miss?

Unroll the tape directly above the buried utility line during backfill, keeping the printed side up; the step often missed is maintaining continuous coverage without gaps so the aluminum foil core remains detectable.

What maintenance or replacement will the tape need after burial?

None — the 0.8 mil polypropylene, 0.35 mil aluminum foil and 3.75 mil polyethylene laminate is rated from -60F to 250F and requires no maintenance once properly installed.

What limit appears first when the tape is under sustained load in the trench?

The 5-mil overall thickness provides the primary mechanical limit; excessive rock pressure or sharp backfill can puncture the laminate before temperature extremes affect it.
