and using the Manual Tape Applicator.
Description
The 3M™ Manual Tape Applicator MTA-2 is intended
to be used for the application of 3M™ Stamark™
Pavement Marking Tapes. It is a simple-to-use, two-
wheeled, robust, push-type device. (Figure 1)
The usage of A 380ESD(high tack adhesive) demands
installation of the MTA-2 upgrade-kit DR995032239
to prevent roll blocking by the high tack adhesive
during the tape application.

The device is specifically designed to apply pavement
marking tapes precoated with pressure sensitive
adhesive.
The applicator weighs 75kg and can be partially
disassembled for transporting in a van, truck or station
wagon.
Product Width and Spacing
The MTA-2 can be used to apply all Stamark™
pavement marking tapes at all standard roll length.
Note: If special roll with larger length are being ordered,
the maximum roll diameter must not exceed 50cm, if the
material is to be applied with a Manual Tape Applicator.
Operation
The MTA-2 is operated by one person.
Note: Pavement Marking Roll changing should be
supported by a second person due to the weight of a tape
roll in order to avoid extensive workload for a single
operator.
The application rates depend on the individual
application conditions and environment. Typically tape is
being applied at walking speed.
