3M 7010397987 Scotch® Barricade Tape 357, DANGER, 3 in x 1000 ft, Red, 8 rolls/Case

It's non-adhesive. Scotch Barricade Tape 357 is a polyethylene film ribbon you string between cones, posts, or stanchions to cordon off a hazard, not a tape that bonds to a surface. If you need something that sticks to the floor or a wall, this isn't it.

It's rated for above-ground use across 0 to 120 degrees F (0 to 49 C). That covers most outdoor jobsite conditions, but hard winter cold below freezing is outside the stated range. It is not intended for buried or underground marking, where you'd want a detectable underground warning tape instead.

A case holds 8 rolls, each 3 in x 1000 ft, so roughly 8,000 linear feet total (304.8 m per roll). That's enough to perimeter a large construction site several times over, which is why it's usually bought by the case for jobsite or MRO stock rather than per roll.

The film runs 2.0 mil (0.05 mm) thick. That's a lightweight barricade ribbon meant to be run, seen, and cut away, not a load-bearing barrier. For long runs in wind or heavy traffic areas, expect to anchor it at closer intervals or step up to a heavier mil tape.

Yes, Scotch Barricade Tape 357 is compliant with RoHS 2011/65/EU. 3M also publishes an article information sheet and a regulatory data sheet for it, which is what most institutional and government procurement files want on record alongside the purchase.

It's the common pick for it. The 357 is stocked as an electrical department item for commercial construction, and red with a DANGER legend is the marking used for immediate, serious hazards like exposed conductors, open panels, or live work zones. Because it's non-adhesive film, you string it around the work area rather than applying it to the equipment itself.

Shelf life is 1825 days, which works out to five years from manufacture. For MRO and facilities stockrooms buying by the case, that means you can hold spare rolls on the shelf for multiple seasons without rotating them out.
