3M 7100070545 School Bus Marking Tape 1 Inch X 50 Yd Yellow

Product Description

The 3M 7100070545 is a yellow retroreflective flexible microprismatic marking tape from the Diamond Grade Flexible Prismatic School Bus Marking Series 973. It is engineered to increase the visibility of school buses to oncoming drivers under low-light and nighttime conditions. The tape features an aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for secure, direct application to bus body panels. This roll measures 1 inch wide by 50 yards and meets the requirements of FMVSS 217, FMVSS 131, and CSA D250 (Canada). It is installed by fleet maintenance technicians and school transportation contractors.

This marking tape is used on school buses in both the United States and Canada where retroreflective conspicuity marking is required by school transportation standards. The 50-yard continuous roll format allows technicians to cut lengths to fit horizontal and vertical body contours. The flexible microprismatic construction conforms to curved and non-planar surfaces commonly found on conventional and transit-style school bus bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by fleet maintenance technicians or school transportation contractors. The application surface should be clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, and loose paint before the adhesive backing is applied. No power systems need to be de-energized for exterior tape application, but follow facility safety protocols when working around vehicles.
