This product conforms to the Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC and International Maritime Organization (IMO) Resolution A.658 (16) Annex 2.

This reflective tape is silver, flexible and reflective with a pressure sensitive adhesive. The tape can be used on the following substrates:

• Rubber coated cloth
• Rubber film
• Vinyl or PVC films
• Polyurethane film

Directions:

The coated fabric must be clean, dry, and substantially free of contamination. If necessary, wipe the substrate surface with a mild solvent, such as VM & P Naphtha or mineral spirits (test the solvent first on a small area of the fabric to make sure the surface is not damaged).

The minimum application temperature is 60°F (15°C). Whenever possible, remove flotation material or deflate equipment,
and smooth out wrinkles.

1. Hand cut or cut with a scissors to the desired size
2. Separate approximately 1” of liner paper from reflective material. Bend liner back onto itself.
3. When everything is properly aligned, press down the exposed adhesive area with a squeegee starting from the inside and working towards end.

NOTE: It is recommended, to improve adhesion, to allow 48 hours (above 60°F) before handling, inflating, or packaging.
