3M 888519387290 Dot Conspicuity Tape 2x12 in White

Product Description

The 3M 888519387290 is a DOT-compliant conspicuity tape designed for high-visibility marking on trailers, trucks, and commercial vehicles. Constructed from reflective sheeting, this tape retroreflects light from headlights and other sources back toward the driver, improving vehicle visibility at night and in low-light conditions. Each piece measures 2 inches wide by 12 inches long and ships in a package of 5 strips. It is typically applied by fleet maintenance technicians, body shop professionals, or DOT compliance specialists who need to meet Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) retroreflective marking requirements.

This tape is suited for use on the sides and rear of trailers, semi-trucks, and other large commercial vehicles subject to FMCSA conspicuity regulations. The white color is used for side-marking applications where alternating red and white sections are required under 49 CFR Part 393. Individual strips can also be used for patching or replacing worn sections of existing conspicuity tape on fleet vehicles. The 12-inch strip length makes it a practical unit for targeted repairs or custom configurations.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for adhesion — clean and degrease the mounting surface thoroughly before application. Tape should be applied by fleet maintenance technicians or body shop professionals familiar with FMCSA conspicuity marking requirements under 49 CFR Part 393. Apply in dry conditions above the manufacturer-recommended minimum application temperature for best bonding. Avoid stretching the tape during application, as distortion can reduce retroreflective performance.
