Ref-lite®
films consist of very small glass
beads embedded in a layer of polyester
film to reflect almost all the light
that shines on them.
Safety Silver retro-reflective film
produces a maximum reflectivity of
675 cd/lux/meter. Several of our other
decorative colors reflect as much
as 560 cd/lux/meter.

down on the fabric in
the desired location.
Press firmly with a
hand iron or lightly
with a heat press at
270-290°F for 3
- 4 seconds to tack
the Ref-lite to fabric.
Do not use more pressure,
temperature or dwell
time than is recommended
because the adhesive

may stick to the fabric.

the protective clear
film from the fabric
after it has cooled
completely.
- Place
a Teflon coated protective
sheet over the image
and reheat at 270-290°F
for 3 seconds. Let that
cool completely. Peel
away the Teflon sheet
to finish the transfer
process.
Test
