ATM 300 Marking Tape

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

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
LTL 2000 Reflectometer   800   500

 

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.

If an installer has questions concerning the types of surface that preformed polymer tape can be applied or weather conditions not referred to above, they may contact their local ATM Regional Manager or 252-536-2574 ext.5138.
