3M Scotchlite Reflective Material Stands Up to Rigorous Heat Endurance Testings

Firefighter safety可见性是火灾紧急情况期间的首要任务，因为急救人员必须履行一系列职责，从与大火作斗争到执行搜查和救援到场景和交通控制。这就是为什么3M, a leader in innovative reflective technology, designed 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material – Series 9500 Fire Coat Trim, a high-visibility solution that withstands extreme heat conditions before, during and after the demanding duties of a firefighter’s job.

3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material – Series 9500 Fire Coat Trim is the latest example of how 3M combines innovative technologies with industry needs. Appropriate for NFPA compliant turn out gear, the premium trim ensures that firefighters are equipped with the high-visibility safety material needed to withstand extreme heat conditions.

Leading the Way in Technology: A Demonstration in Quality:
为了证明3M™Scotchlite™反射材料 - 串联9500火涂层装饰是增加保护和可见性的最佳解决方案，在260°C（500°F）的另一种装饰产品的热耐力测试中，对其进行了检查5分钟。*这是结果：

3M™Scotchlite™反射材料 - 系列9500火涂层装饰：
• Maintained its shape, appearance, flexibility, nighttime visibility and durability
• Continued to provide exceptional nighttime visibility, even under extreme heat of 260°C (500°F) for five minutes
• Maintained a brightness measurement of over 500 cd/lux/m² after three minutes in the heat test
• Maintained a brightness of over 350 cd/lux/m² throughout the five minute heat test

While both products met the NFPA’s Heat and Thermal Shrinkage requirements, the technological leader was clear in the results, as the comparative trim found the product turned black and brittle; deformed and curled; and its brightness went to zero.

*The test was based on the Heat and Thermal Shrinkage Test of NFPA 1971–20071, which states: “Trim shall not melt, separate, drip or ignite when tested for heat and thermal shrinkage at 260 °C (500 °F) for 5 minutes.”
