DOT TAPE

Reflective Tape

Impact Proof Reflective Tape

Improve Road Safety

Suitable For Cars & Trucks

Heskins Ltd is fully distributing DOT tape, with the intention of supplying European manufacturers for trailers and vehicles intended for operation in the USA.

Heskins DOT tape is a glass bead version, using, as the name suggests, microscopic glass beads applied to the surface in a honeycomb-shaped grid. This formation allows a sufficient portion of the light shone at the surface to reflect directly back at the source in a wide cone that is suitable to allow perfect visibility to increase safety and reduce the risk of collisions in any lighting condition.

Its performance is unquestionable. Constructed in the same way as all other top quality DOT tapes, resulting in an impact-proof, UV stable reflective material that will apply to any clean, dry surface such as aluminum, steel and fibreglass with its self-adhesive base.

Available Sizes

H6602 is available in rolls measuring 15mm up to 1244mm in width at a length of 45.7 metres.
Red/White is available in both 152mm x 152mm and 178mm x 279mm.

Available Colours

  • White
  • Red
  • Yellow
  • Red/White 6″/6″ and 7″/11″ pattern available

Tape Thickness

DOT Tape has a total applied thickness of approximately 0.0165 inches ± 0.002, offering a reliable balance of visibility, durability, and ease of application. Its carefully engineered construction provides strong adhesion without creating unnecessary bulk, allowing the tape to sit smoothly on flat surfaces and slightly curved vehicle panels. This well-balanced thickness delivers a long-lasting reflective layer that stays flexible during installation and stands up to everyday road conditions, ensuring consistent performance and compliance.

DOT Tape Regulations

H6602 is regulated by the FMCSA, which certifies the use of DOT tape for North & South America as well as the middle-east. As many of the US truck and trailer operators use trucks manufactured in European factories, the mandatory application of DOT tape means that additional cost would be incurred by importing it from the US to only have to send it back that way. With Heskins supplying from within Europe, these additional costs would be avoided for these manufacturers, creating a more cost-effective method of ensuring all trucks and trailers they manufacture meet requirements for the certification and regulations of truck, trailer and large, commercial vehicle operation in the USA.

Custom Printing

Guarantee communicability with all of the benefits of DOT Tape through our custom printing service. Important messages such as “slow moving vehicle” or “training vehicle, please be patient” can be expressed through a combination of image, color, and text. All of this is possible with Heskins custom-printing. We can provide multiple proof versions if you’d like to compare different layouts, color options, or branding placements before final approval.
