3M 3430 ENGINEER GRADE PRISMATIC REFLECTIVE TAPE, WHITE, 6.00” WIDTH, SOLD BY THE YARD!
3M 3430 EGP REFLECTIVE TAPE DESCRIPTION
3M Engineer Grade Prismatic reflective tape (or EGP) is a retro-reflective, micro-prismatic tape designed for high-visibility in low-light and nighttime conditions. It has a visibility of up to 750 feet when reflecting a light source (such as car headlights). It’s also incredibly durable with a lifetime of up to 7 years before needing replacement. Its tough top-coat resists scuffs, scratches and gouges even in extreme climates so it’s virtually weatherproof. You’ve undoubtedly seen a wider version of 3M EGP on those large, interstate highway signs. Over 85% of state transportation departments use only 3M reflective material for their traffic signs because it’s a superior product to all other brands: superior visibility, superior reflectivity and superior longevity.
3M EGP isn’t just limited to static items on the road. It’s ideal for moving ones as well. Use it on all vehicles for greater visibility at a distance and much earlier detection. Place 3M EGP reflective tape around warehouse docks to make sure truckers hit the mark (and not your door). Place it on dumpsters so vehicles don’t back into them. Use it at the marina to make peers more visible. Place it on your boat to be seen early from a distance (unless you’re a smuggler and don’t want to stand out. Use 3M EGP on just about anything you want to be clearly noticeable from a distance during both daytime and nighttime. 3M EGP is great for your home, too. Place it in your garage on floors, doors and walls to avoid collisions while back out or pulling in. Use it in your home to increase visibility on railings, stairs, floors, baby strollers, bikes, bike accessories, camping/outdoor equipment, boats, automobiles, motorcycles and more. Once you see how well 3M EGP works, you’re sure to find unlimited uses for it.
While 3M EGP reflective tape is a semi-rigid with a thickness of about 11 mils, it is flexible enough to adhere to contours, like those on motorcycle and bicycle helmets. It will also easily loop around and adhere to objects with small diameters, like bicycle or motorcycle frames. 3M EGP reflective tape can also add plenty of sizzle to your signs or graphics. It can be easily cut with scissors, plotters or razor blades to form letters & shapes that are visible from long distances.
Yes, 3M reflective products are indeed expensive. A full roll of 3M 3430 EGP will set you back about $1,000. Buying a full roll of 3M 3430 EGP shouldn’t require cashing in your 401K. We sell 3M 3430 EGP by the yard, so you can buy just what you need and not get “rolled”.
