Guide to Reflective Conspicuity Tape Grades
Choosing the right reflective tape depends on your durability needs and compliance requirements. Use this chart to select the perfect grade for your fleet or facility.
| Tape Grade | Durability | Brightness | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year DOT-C2 | 5 Years | High (V92) | Standard Trailers, Cost-Effective Fleets |
| 10-Year Standard | 10 Years | Very High (V82) | Long-Haul Trucks, Premium Fleets |
| 10-Year HIP | 10 Years | Ultra (Prismatic) | Maximum Visibility, Harsh Environments |
| Industrial (Non-DOT) | 7+ Years | High | Bollards, Dumpsters, Gates, Warehouses |
DOT-C2 Compliance: Placement & Patterns
The FMCSA requires that all trailers 80 inches or wider and with a GVWR over 10,000 lbs must have retroreflective sheeting to enhance visibility. Here are the core standards:
- The Pattern: Tape must be alternating red and white segments (typically 6" x 6" or 7" x 11") to provide high contrast against the vehicle's body and the environment.
- Placement Guidelines: Reflective sheeting must cover at least 50% of the trailer's side length and 100% of the lower rear bar (the ICC bumper). It should also outline the upper rear corners (inverted "L" shape).
- The Stamp: Always look for the "DOT-C2" certification mark stamped directly onto the tape. If it doesn't have the stamp, it does not meet federal compliance standards for highways.
Standard vs. DOT-C2: What is the Difference?
It is crucial to choose the correct tape for your specific application:
- DOT-C2 Reflective Tape: This tape is engineered specifically for the transportation industry. It meets strict photometric requirements for brightness and retroreflectivity defined by the NHTSA and DOT. It is mandatory for commercial trailers.
- Standard / Industrial Reflective Tape: While high quality, "Industrial" or "Engineer Grade" tapes may not meet the specific candela (brightness) requirements of the DOT. These are excellent for marking gates, bollards, dumpsters, forklifts, and non-regulated facility hazards.
