3M BD8439 Dot Conspicuity Tape Silver 2in Dot C-2 4 Pack

Product Description

The 3M BD8439 is a silver DOT conspicuity tape designed to increase the visibility of commercial vehicles and trailers in low-light and nighttime conditions. Rated to DOT C-2 compliance specifications, this reflective tape meets federal retroreflective sheeting standards required on large vehicles operating on public roads. Each strip measures 2 inches wide by 12 inches long. The tape is sold in a package of 4 strips. Fleet operators, body shop technicians, and commercial vehicle maintenance crews are the primary installers of this product.

This tape is used on the sides and rear of trailers, semi-trucks, flatbeds, and other commercial vehicles where DOT-mandated retroreflective marking is required. It is also applied during refurbishment of older trailers to restore compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration conspicuity requirements. The silver reflective finish is designed to return light toward its source, making the vehicle outline visible to approaching drivers from a significant distance.

Apply firm, even pressure along the full length of the tape to ensure full contact with the substrate. This product is typically installed by fleet maintenance technicians or body shop personnel. Follow applicable FMCSA conspicuity regulations for correct placement patterns on trailer sides and rear surfaces.
