3M® HEAT TRANSFER (Iron-on) SCOTCHLITE REFLECTIVE TAPES - are available as 5510 Comfort Trim and solid 2-inch 3M 8712 silver-gray, both of which reflect bright white and are ANSI certified. Solid 8712 is 3M's less expensive mainstay heat-transfer reflective film. These reflective tapes are for T-shirts, work shirts, jackets, coveralls, and safety vests. 3M 5510 Comfort Trim has diagonal reflective segments with a blue removable liner. It's advantage is that the segments stretch with the fabric and provide breathability. 3M 5686 and 5687 are flame resistant, being designed for firefighter's bunker coats. When exposed to high temps, the segments allow flash-generated steam to escape from beneath the fabric. They also are lightweight and comfortable to wear on T-shirts. Fluorescent orange and yellow offer great daytime conspicuity in foggy or gray weather as well as being reflective at night-time. All these tapes are great for T-shirts and can be easily cut into shapes and strips to create patterns and images (see image at top). They bond exceptionally well to nearly any porous material by penetrating into the fabric (but they may not bond well to waterproofed materials). They are home machine washable at temperatures up to 140°F and low dryer settings, but it is recommended to wash them on warm (105°F) and line dry to best preserve reflectivity. Only non-chlorine bleach is recommended. For more details about application and cleaning, see specifications
