PRODUCT FAQ

What is the purpose of 3M™ Durable Floor Marking Tape 971?

The tape is designed to provide a clear and long-lasting marking solution for industrial floors. It helps improve safety, organization, 5S compliance, and productivity by creating visible pathways or indicating areas where certain actions should be taken.
How does this tape work differently compared to other tapes?

The tape features a tough construction with abrasion-resistant properties that resist wear and tear from heavy foot traffic, equipment rollouts, pallet dragging, or harsh cleaning chemicals. Its high adhesion and co-extruded backing allow it to adhere firmly to most surfaces without leaving residue or chipping off.
Is the blue color of the tape significant in any way?

Blue can signify many things depending on your plant's visual communication standards. For instance, it can indicate raw materials storage areas, finished goods inventory zones, electrical panels/machinery warning zones etc., all helping workers distinguish between different sections of manufacturing plants easily.
Can you give an estimate of how durable this floor marking product really is?

The 17 mil thickness provides strong durability against normal usage wear over time—typically providing effective performance for up to three years under various environmental conditions (heat/cold/humidity).
Would this product require any maintenance once laid down on warehouse/manufacturing floors?

A:The installation process is simple—all you need is clean dry surfaces for optimal results. Once applied there are no special requirements for maintenance;just make sure routine cleaning protocols do not use acids/waxes/oils/solvents as they may damage the adhesive bond et al then mark away!

A Heavy-Duty Tape for Heavy Traffic

3M™ Durable Floor Marking Tape 971 is specially designed to withstand heavy traffic areas, with colors that remain vivid even when exposed to heavy abrasion such as scuffing from pallets and heavy equipment. The tough backing has a low profile and resists curling which can cause edge lift and reduce the life of a floor marking tape. The rubber adhesive provides a strong bond to floors but also promotes one-piece clean removal, even after extended use. This tape has no liner and can easily be applied using 3M™ Lane Marking Applicator M-1 or by hand. This floor marking tape is ideal for 5S lean manufacturing initiatives and comes in a variety of colors and widths up to 24 inches (61 cm).
