Demo summary • 3M™ Durable Floor Marking Tape 971 is tested against 3M™ General Purpose Vinyl Tape 764. • A weighted abrasion tester with P80 sanding sheet is used to apply repeated abrasion across both tapes. • The comparison runs up to 500 passes to observe colour retention, surface wear, and removal. Product highlights • Superior durability from thick vinyl backing that provides excellent abrasion resistance. • Designed to resist lifting, curling, and peeling from heavy traffic. • Easy-to-clean surface supports facility upkeep. • Clean removal helps make layout changes faster and cleaner. • Available in multiple colours and widths for different marking and organizational needs. Observed results • At 50 passes, Tape 971 shows minimal visible scratches while Tape 764 begins losing colour. • At 250 passes, Tape 971 stays bright and intact while Tape 764’s colour is almost entirely scratched off. • Around pass 370, Tape 764 develops holes. • At 500 passes, both tapes remove cleanly, but only Tape 971 removes in one piece without visible colour loss. Why it matters • Long-lasting colour visibility supports safety, organization, and workflow clarity. • Abrasion resistance matters in facilities with forklift movement, pallet dragging, and repeated traffic. • Clean removal can help reduce rework when facility layouts change. • Tape-based marking helps avoid the downtime and clean-up associated with painted floor markings. • Compatible with 5S visual management systems for workplace organization.
