3M 973

3M 973 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, motocycle cases, helmets, wheelchairs, etc.  3M 973 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 973 has a diamond pattern and an agressive adhesive.  Approximate thickness for all colors is 13-mils (0.013").  A link to 3M 973 specifications is here.
