3M 7100176986 Diamond Grade Conspicuity Marking White

Product Description

The 3M 7100176986 is a Series 983 Diamond Grade conspicuity marking tape engineered for high retroreflectivity using microprismatic technology. It is designed to mark the sides and rear of commercial vehicles, trailers, and fleet equipment to improve visibility and detection under low-light and nighttime conditions. At 4 inches wide and 18 yards in length, each roll provides substantial coverage for a full vehicle marking installation. Fleet operators, safety managers, and truck body installers apply this tape to meet retroreflective marking requirements on heavy vehicles.

This marking tape is used on the sides and rear of commercial trailers, semi-trucks, flatbeds, and other large vehicles operating on public roads. It is a common solution for fleets seeking to meet Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) retroreflective marking standards. The white colorway is specified for side and rear conspicuity applications where a bright, high-contrast appearance is required for maximum detection distance.

Installation Notes

Conspicuity marking tape is typically applied by fleet maintenance technicians or truck body shops. The mounting surface should be clean, dry, and free of oil, wax, and loose paint before application. Follow applicable FMCSA and FRA regulations for required placement locations, segment lengths, and color patterns on the vehicle. Avoid applying in temperatures outside the manufacturer-recommended range to ensure proper adhesive bonding.
