DOT-C2 Reflective Safety Tape Red White Waterproof PET
DOT-C2 Reflective Safety Tape Red White Waterproof PET
DOT-C2 Reflective Safety Tape – Red & White, Waterproof PET Material
Boost visibility and mark hazards with confidence using this DOT-C2 Compliant Reflective Safety Tape. Engineered from durable PET material, this red and white tape delivers powerful retroreflectivity — bouncing light directly back toward its source for maximum visibility in low-light and nighttime conditions. Whether you're marking trailers, trucks, vehicles, loading docks, equipment, or construction zones, this tape is purpose-built to perform.
Key Features
- DOT-C2 Compliant: Meets Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) retroreflective sheeting standards — trusted for commercial vehicle and roadway safety applications.

Why Choose DOT-C2 Reflective Tape?
Reflective conspicuity tape is a proven, cost-effective way to improve roadside and worksite safety. The U.S. Department of Transportation mandates DOT-C2 tape on large commercial vehicles to reduce nighttime collisions. This tape delivers the same standards-compliant performance for any application where visibility matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does DOT-C2 mean for reflective safety tape?
A: DOT-C2 is a specification established by the U.S. Department of Transportation that defines the retroreflective performance requirements for conspicuity tape used on commercial vehicles and trailers. DOT-C2 reflective safety tape must meet specific brightness and durability standards to ensure maximum visibility in low-light and nighttime conditions, making it the trusted standard for road and worksite safety marking.
Q: What surfaces can this reflective tape be applied to?
A: This DOT-C2 PET reflective tape adheres firmly to a wide range of clean, flat, or gently curved surfaces including metal, painted metal, fiberglass, hard plastic, and smooth composite panels. For best adhesion, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or dust before application. It is ideal for semi-trucks, trailers, equipment, gates, bollards, and warehouse safety markings.
Q: Is this tape suitable for outdoor and wet conditions?
A: Yes. The waterproof PET construction and weather-resistant adhesive make this tape fully suitable for outdoor use in rain, humidity, and varying temperatures. It is designed to maintain its strong bond and high-visibility reflective properties even after prolonged exposure to the elements.
Q: Can this tape be repositioned after application?
A: The tape is designed for a strong, lasting hold; however, it can be carefully removed and repositioned on clean surfaces if needed shortly after initial application. For permanent safety markings, allow it to cure fully for optimal long-term adhesion.
