3M 7000142262 Emergency Vehicle Marking Tape Red

Product Description

The 3M 7000142262 is a flexible microprismatic retroreflective marking tape engineered for emergency vehicle identification. Part of the Diamond Grade Series 973 FRA line, it delivers high-level retroreflectivity to improve vehicle detection and visibility in low-light and nighttime conditions. The tape measures 6 inches wide and covers 50 yards per roll. It is backed with an aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive for a durable, conformable bond to vehicle body panels and curved surfaces. Fleet managers, fire apparatus technicians, and emergency vehicle upfitters are the primary installers of this product.

This marking tape is used on fire trucks, ambulances, law enforcement vehicles, and other emergency apparatus requiring high-visibility retroreflective treatment. Its flexible construction allows it to conform to contoured surfaces without cracking or lifting. The Series 973 FRA designation indicates compliance with Federal Railroad Administration emergency vehicle marking standards, making it suitable for applications where regulatory conspicuity requirements must be met.
