3M ENGINEER GRADE REFLECTIVE STRIPING TAPE - 3M Scotchlite 5100 Series (see Sell Sheet) tapes are pliable and conformable reflective tapes that can be applied to many different surfaces.  They are ideal for reflective striping on EMS vehicles and for banding fire hydrants to color code them to flow rates (see rate table to right).  Reflective striping makes EMS vehicles, hydrants, bikes, and helmets visible at night when they might otherwise be difficult to see.  They are great for marking fire tools so they can be found in darkness because they light up before flashlights.  Black reflective tape is popular on motorcyles and with the military. 

3M 5100 series Scotchlite Engineer Grade reflective tapes are TYPE I and conform to the requirements of ASTM D4956 for reflectivity, longevity, and resistance to weathering.  They are 7-mils in thickness and have a peel-off backing, having an adhesive that allows the tape to be repositionable and removable (see 3M's product bulletin).  They should be applied within the temperature range of 55ºF to 100ºF, but are service rated from -30ºF to 200ºF.  Multiples of short lengths of the same color will be sent as a continuous roll unless specified otherwise in the "comment box" when checking out.
