Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape - is also referred to as "conspicuity tape" and "DOT tape" and is required to be in compliance with FMCSA (The United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration) regulations as a reflective tape for vehicles, along with various other applications. The Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape surface is completely covered with beads or prisms, that reflect back light that is shined on it directly to the source or sources of that light. This is particularly true in "low light" or even in "lights out" conditions, and therefore serves to alert other drivers of the presence of vehicles that are "marked" appropriately with Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape.

Please Note: Federal requirements state that any truck trailer that is more than 80 inches wide and exceeds 10,000 lbs. in weight must be marked with red and white alternating DOT (Department of Transportation) compliant tape that is 2 inches wide and must run along at LEAST 50% (half) of the length and must cover the full width of the exposed rear area. Reflective conspicuity tape is strictly controlled and only approved material is permitted to carry the "DOT-C2" spaced text. All of the Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape intended for DOT applications meets the requirements and is clearly marked as such. The Mat King Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape, which is conspicuity tape, exceeds the following DOT tape requirements and regulations:; FMVSS 108, NHTSA (49 CFR 571), FHWA (for retrofit) and FMCSA. Using Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape will allow a user to access the exact type of conspicuity tape needed for each particular application, which will go a long way towards ensuring that the Federal standards and regulations are being properly observed.

Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape for DOT compliance has a self-adhesive base that adheres to any surface that is clean, dry and free from grease. All one needs to do to apply it is to simply remove the backing paper then apply firm pressure to stick the tape in place. The use of a squeegee is recommended when applying Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape for DOT compliance. The use of a squeegee helps to apply an even amount of pressure, which will ensure a clean and secure application. The adhesive is permanent and works on steel, aluminum, fiberglass etc. Starburst High Visibility Reflective Tape is a durable product that will provide years of service.
