2-Part Optics System mean Markings that perform in dry and wet/rain conditions, giving Increased motorist safety in day/night/wet/dry conditions
Durable, patterned surface
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 regulatio
Extended Season (380AW): Series 380AW tape uses an aggressive, cold weather pressure sensitive adhesive to achieve tape installations down to 40 degrees F. By opening the application window of 380AW, more projects can be started early or finished late season with a durable, highly reflective pavement marking tape.
Extended Season Applications: Now you can extend your striping season with Series 380I ES tape! Series 380I ES tape offers “Extended Season” applications outside the typical tape season with use of 3M Stamark Surface Preparation Adhesive P-50 and can be
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.
Initial WET Retroreflectivity: 380AW offers a continuous wet reflective pavement marking system designed to provide excellent retroreflectivity performance in wet and dry conditions.
Microcrystalline ceramic beads give Increased reflectivity and Improved durability for Improved reflectivity retention, Increased motorist safety, and long-term cost savings
Non-reflective, black matte border
Primerless, Ease of Application (380AW): Series 380AW tape uses an aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive, eliminating the need for a surface preparation adhesive to be applied, within the 3M Climate Guide seasonal months. A “primerless” tape provides reduced installation costs, application time savings, increased labor productivity, and reduced traffic disruptions (increased safety).
Raised Pattern Profile: The raised pattern 380AW tape provides improved wet reflectivity performance compared to a flat pavement material during rainfall. The raised pattern also provides a vertical reflective surface, increasing the durability of the beads and providing better nighttime reflectivity.
Reinforcing Net (380AW): Series 380AW tape incorporates a durable reinforcing net within its pressure sensitive adhesive. The reinforcing net minimizes tearing of the tape and offers longer term wear in higher traffic conditions.
Superior color day and night
Topcoat Construction: Series 380AW tape uses polyurethane to achieve superior durability to the wearing surface and to enhance bead adhesion. Superior durability means superior retained retroreflectivity, providing safer driving conditions for the motoring public. Superior durability also means extended life road presence, offering less frequent restriping and fewer traffic disruptions.
