3M 5535 Flame-Resistant Segmented Trim
3M Scotchlite 5535 is a silver flame-resistant segmented heat transfer trim. Its heat-activated adhesive requires a suitable compatible substrate. For flame-resistant clothing, review the base fabric and complete garment requirements with the trim specification.
Match the trim to the garment design
Send a placement drawing with strip dimensions, joins and ends. Identify the flame-resistant base fabric and provide its documents. Material documentation and garment approval have different scopes, so both must be reviewed for the intended construction.
What to provide before sampling
- The full material code, approved specification and a photograph of the roll label if available.
- A drawing showing dimensions, placement and required quantity.
- The actual substrate, fabric composition and stretch or flexing at the application area.
- The intended washing, drying or cleaning process and finished-product acceptance requirements.
- The required sample date and delivery schedule for supply review.
Evaluate the complete applied sample
Evaluate the material on the actual substrate and at the intended position. Review appearance, edge adhesion and performance after the proposed care process. Application settings must follow the documents for the exact code, the equipment and the sample results. Record the approved material code and lot before production.
Frequently asked questions
Is 5510M an equivalent segmented trim?
No direct substitution should be assumed. 3M 5510M is a non-flame-resistant home-wash trim. Keep the exact code approved for the flame-resistant garment.
Does using 5535 certify the complete garment?
Component properties do not by themselves confirm the certification of a finished garment. Review the base fabric, attachment, strip layout and required garment testing.
