This offering is for two 15 ft. rolls of Type 3 High Intensity Reflective Tape which will meet the NFPA requirements for the red and yellow chevrons on the rear of an emergency vehicle. There is one 6 in. roll of each color: one red and one of yellow. 2 Rolls total. I have shown a photo with and without a flash. This offering is a quantity adequate to install the chevrons to the rear (tailgate) of a large pick-up truck, such as a Chief's truck or command vehicle. This is an exceptionally high quality product with a 10 year outdoor life. High intensity or type 3 reflective tape is characterized by a honeycomb pattern (encapsulated lens reflective tape). Within each honey comb grid there are high concentrations of glass beads. This concentration of beads makes for a much brighter tape. High Intensity tapes reflects at a rate of around 250 candlepower for the white and less for other colors. Orange safety cones and road barrels use this material as well as many street signs. Fire departments prefer the high intensity type 3 material because it can be seen from further away and has a longer outdoor life. NFPA 1901 Standards For Retro Reflective Striping on Fire Trucks and Emergency Vehicles REFLECTIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR DOORS 14.1.6 Any door of the apparatus designed to allow persons to enter or exit the apparatus shall have at least 96 in.2 (62,000 mm2) of retroreflective material affixed to the inside of the door. 15.9.3.1* A retroreflective stripe(s) shall be affixed to at least 50 percent of the cab and body length on each side, excluding the pump panel areas, and at least 25 percent of the width of the front of the apparatus. 15.9.3.1.1 The stripe or combination of stripes shall be a minimum of 4 in.
