Versatile range of uses, a simple and quick application and high reflectivity values - the reflective film 823i from 3M^TM has it all.

3M^TM 823i – a repositionable reflective film that offers bubble-free application

This marking film contains state-of-the-art technologies and combines great reflectivity performance (reflectivity class RA2/C due to its microprismatic structure) with exceptional user friendliness.

In order to be easily applicable - also on uneven surfaces - the reflective material has been designed with a thin and flexible structure. The Controltac^TM technology allows the film to be moved on the substrate until it is in the required position. Only then, the adhesive agent will be activated by the application of pressure, and the film sticks in place permanently.

The Comply^TM technology releases trapped air through incorporated microchannels, making annoying bubbles on reflective films history.

Sealing edges is not necessary (neither longitudinal, transverse nor cut edges), since the reflective film has a single-layer structure.

Why choose the reflective film 823i from 3M^TM

• Easy application due to very thin and flexible design
• Controltac^TM technology makes the film repositionable
• No more bubbles - Comply^TM technology vents trapped air through microchannels
• High reflectivity value thanks to microprismatic construction
• TPESC approval, fulfils DIN 30710

Originally created for marking vehicles and containers, the reflective film 823i has provided excellent results in other fields of applications, too. Here are some examples where the conspicuity tape can improve visibility and safety:

• Bicycles, balance bikes and scooters
• Prams, pushchairs etc
• Walking frames
• Dustbins and rain barrels

The most convenient way to mark these objects, however, would be to use stickers, as you can buy them with our sticker sets. These sets contain various geometrical shapes and colours.

Please note: The reflective film 823i is not suitable for creating traffic signs nor for the application on stainless steel substrates.

The manufacturer's logo is printed inside the master roll at wide intervals. Therefore, some reflective tapes, which are cut from the master roll, may not show the logo or the name of the manufacturer. You can ascertain the film's authenticity by comparing its surface structure with the photo shown above.
