3M 7010297023 Diamond Grade Conspicuity Tape White DOT-C2

Product Description

The 3M 7010297023 is a white microprismatic reflective conspicuity marking tape designed to increase the visibility and detection distance of large vehicles in low-light and nighttime conditions. Each strip measures 2 inches wide by 12 inches long and features an aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for direct application to flat or slightly curved surfaces. The tape meets or exceeds all FMVSS 108 requirements and carries the DOT-C2 certification mark, making it suitable for regulated commercial vehicle marking applications. Installation is straightforward thanks to an easy-release liner and pre-sealed edges that resist moisture intrusion and edge lifting.

This conspicuity tape is used on the sides and rear of trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, and other large commercial vehicles where federal or state visibility regulations apply. It is commonly installed during new vehicle outfitting, fleet marking programs, or as replacement tape when existing conspicuity material becomes damaged, faded, or delaminated. The wide-angle reflectivity, effective to nearly 90 degrees from perpendicular, ensures the vehicle remains visible to approaching drivers even at oblique angles, a critical factor in roadside and intersection safety.

Key Features

• Microprismatic sheeting provides high retroreflectivity at wide angles, up to nearly 90 degrees from perpendicular
• Meets or exceeds FMVSS 108 requirements including DOT-C2 certification
• Aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds securely to truck and trailer surfaces
• Pre-sealed edges resist moisture, dirt, and edge lift in harsh road environments
• Easy-release liner simplifies strip alignment and application
• White color for use in alternating white and red DOT-C2 conspicuity patterns

Compatibility

Designed for application to trucks, trailers, and large commercial vehicles requiring DOT-C2 conspicuity marking per FMVSS 108 regulations.

Installation Notes

Conspicuity tape is typically applied by fleet maintenance technicians or body shop professionals familiar with FMVSS 108 placement requirements. Clean and dry the target surface thoroughly before application to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply firm pressure across the entire strip length to seat the adhesive and eliminate air pockets. Follow applicable federal and state regulations for strip placement, spacing, and color alternation when outfitting commercial vehicles.
