ATM 300 provides exceptional durability in the most demanding traffic conditions. Recommended for longitudinal and transverse application in moderate traffic areas.
The highly retroreflective tape offers superior visibility under all lighting conditions. Minimum 60 mil. (1.52mm) thick composite resists wear. Superior adhesive system prohibits tape movement in hot and cold climates. The ATM adhesive system extends the application season typically shortened by marginal weather conditions. Quick and easy installation: simply prepare the surface, apply the tape, and tamp in place. For superior durability in snow conditions, the grooved inlay method must be used. Marked roadways can be opened to traffic immediately.
A complete line of legends and symbols are available that meet MUTCD and state specifications.
Specs
Meets Or Exceeds ASTM D4505 Standard Specification For Preformed Retroreflective Pavement Marking Tape For Extended Service Life
Series 300 Durable preformed plastic, permanent marking tapes are designed for usage on asphaltic or concrete surfaces. Series 300 tapes are suitable for longitudinal markings and transverse markings including word/symbol markings. Series 300 Durable tape is available in white, yellow and custom colors.
Series 400 Extended Life preformed plastic, permanent marking tapes are designed for usage on asphaltic or concrete surfaces. Series 400 tapes are suitable for longitudinal markings and transverse markings including word/symbol markings. Series 400 Extended Life tape is available in white, yellow and custom colors.
Physical Properties
Composition: All Permanent Series Tapes consist of a pre-applied, pressure-sensitive adhesive with high-quality polymeric materials, pigments and glass beads assuring long term retroreflectivity.
Applicability To Pavement Surfaces: Ambient temperatures, 24 hours before and after, of 40°F (5°C) and rising. See Manufacturer's Application Instructions included in each box.
Adhesion: Permanent Series Tapes will adhere to asphalt or portland cement concrete roadway surfaces when applied according to the manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
Pigmentation: Permanent Series Tape pigments are selected and blended to provide a marking tape in white or yellow conforming to standard highway colors.
Skid Resistance: Permanent Series 300 and 400 tapes will have an initial minimum skid resistance value of 55 BPN when tested according to ASTM E 303.
Reflectance: Permanent Series Tapes have the following minimum results when tested in accordance with ASTM D4061.
| White | Yellow | |||||||
| Entrance Angle-Degrees | 86.0 | 86.0 | 86.0 | 86.0 | ||||
| Observation Angle-Degrees | 0.2 | 0.5 | 0.2 | 0.5 | ||||
| Specific Luminance (mcd ft-2 (fc)-1) | 1770 | 1270 | 1310 | 1000 | ||||

Performance Requirements
Series 300 tape, when applied according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, shall provide a minimum service period of 24 months in light to moderate traffic volume.
Series 400 tape, when applied according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, shall provide a minimum service period of 36 months in moderate to heavy traffic volume.
In snow removal areas, plowing may shorten tape’s life cycle.
Series 300 and 400 are also available with extended four and six-year warranties. Please contact your ATM Sales Representative for specifications.
