Abrasion-resistant microcrystalline ceramic beads bonded in a highly durable polyurethane topcoat

Durable construction: The unique patterned construction of Series 380I ES tape combines technologies in beads, topcoats and adhesives. The result is cost-effective solutions in durability, retroreflectivity and appearance.

Durable, patterned surface to maximize retroreflectance

Ease of Application: Surface preparation adhesive is not required during the 3M Climate Guide-defined application season for Series 380I ES tape. Elimination of a surface preparation adhesive requirement allows agencies with strict environmental regulations additional opportunities to apply Series 380I ES tape.

Easy application

Extended season application

Increase and Extend Productivity: Series 380I ES tape can be applied quickly with elimination of the surface preparation adhesive step. And, by using suface preparation adhesive early and late season, the striping season can be extended by several months. This means increased and extended productivity for agencies and contractors.

Long-term reflectivity design

Manufactured without the use of heavy metals, lead chromate pigments or other similar, lead-containing chemicals

Retained Visibility: The durable material of Series 380I ES offers initial and retained reflectivity, contrast with the road surface, and crisp, clean road markings that provide warranted performance at higher traffic volumes. The technology used in 3M’s lead chromate-free tape yields a more distinct nighttime retroreflective yellow color than even traditional pavement markings employing lead chromate pigments. 3M’s unique yellow microcrystalline ceramic beads, combined with Series 380I ES tape’s pattern construction, provide the high reflectivity that gives drivers the nighttime visibility they need.

Series 380I ES is a dry-reflective marking available in standard white, yellow and black colors, pre-cut symbols and legends, and contrast markings for improved daytime visibility on concrete and other light-colored pavements

Superior performance and retained visibility: 3M Stamark High Performance Pavement Marking Tapes set the bar for durability, lasting retroreflectivity and long-term value
