FLUORESCENT MARKINGS
Fluorescent adhesive tape for markings and vehicle outlines
Depending on the product, fluorescent adhesive tape makes markings stand out for different purposes: marking vehicle outlines or identifying walking surfaces. Lighting, substrate and wear determine the choice. Select the tape by the marking function you need.
01
Selection criteria
What does the marking need to do?
First establish whether you need to mark a vehicle outline, a step or another surface. The retroreflective 3M Diamond Grade Series 983 vehicle marking is intended for painted or unpainted metal on vehicles with rigid bodies. The fluorescent tesa 60953 anti-slip tape, by contrast, is intended for walking surfaces such as steps and factory floors. Consider lighting, substrate, surface shape and wear; the properties of the particular product determine its suitability.

SELECT BY FUNCTION
Fluorescent does not describe a single function
Conspicuous colour, retroreflection and afterglow serve different purposes. The 3M Diamond Grade Series 983 includes a fluorescent yellow version for retroreflective vehicle outline marking. tesa 60953 is a phosphorescent anti-slip covering for dark work areas. Other tapes will not necessarily perform the same function or suit every substrate.
Tell us what you need to mark, the substrate, shape, lighting and mechanical wear. Krückemeyer GmbH will discuss the product choice with you and whether cut rolls or die-cut parts suit your process. The properties of the selected product determine what it can do.

QUESTIONS ABOUT FLUORESCENT TAPES
What can the fluorescent adhesive tapes in this range be used for?
Suitability depends on the specific version. The range covers different marking tasks, including vehicle outlines and walking surfaces. 3M Diamond Grade Series 983 serves as a retroreflective outline marking for vehicles with rigid bodies; the series also includes a fluorescent yellow version. Fluorescent tesa 60953 anti-slip tape was developed for dark work areas such as steps and factory floors. Establish the required function first, then check the properties of the individual product.
Does every fluorescent adhesive tape glow after the lights go out?
No. Whether a tape continues to glow after the lights go out depends on the version. The tesa 60953 anti-slip covering is phosphorescent. By contrast, 3M Diamond Grade Series 983 is a retroreflective outline marking and includes a fluorescent yellow colour version. Colour, reflected light and afterglow should therefore be kept distinct. If the marking must work under particular lighting conditions, identify those conditions and choose a suitable product.
Which substrates can 3M Diamond Grade Series 983 be applied to?
3M Diamond Grade Series 983 outline marking is intended for painted and unpainted metal substrates on vehicles with rigid bodies. It can be applied dry to flat or curved surfaces with a permanent adhesive. This does not mean that other fluorescent markings suit those surfaces or that the tape can be removed without residue. Tell us the material, surface condition and shape of the vehicle component so we can assess the specific version for your application.
What information does Krückemeyer need to select and convert the tape?
Describe the marking task, substrate, surface shape, lighting and expected wear. Also specify the required delivery form and how you plan to apply the tape. For vehicle outlines, the product properties regarding substrate and application matter; for anti-slip coverings, the wear on the walking surface matters as well. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable tapes or make die-cut parts. We will discuss which version suits your application based on the properties of the individual product.
