3M Diamond Grade Flexible Prismatic School Bus Marking Series 983-10 White (for hydrants, bollards, barriers)

3M 983 Flexible Prismatic Reflective Tapes are conformable microprismatic reflective tapes that can be applied to a great variety of surfaces such as EMS vehicles, fire hydrants, bollards, motorcycle cases, helmets, wheelchairs.  3M 983 is ideal for banding the bonnet edge or barrel of fire hydrants to color code them to flow rate (see rate table at right).  They make hydrants conspicuous at night when they otherwise might not be seen by fire-fighters.  It is also flexible enough to be placed around the 90-degree corners of square trail marking stakes and adhere completely and is great for creating exciting reflective hoops (see some on YouTube).

3M 983 has a diamond pattern and an aggressive adhesive.  Approximate thickness for all colors is 13-mils (0.013").  A link to 3M 983 specifications is here.
