3M 8987 Flame-Resistant Reflective Fabric
3M Scotchlite 8987 is fluorescent lime-yellow reflective fabric with a flame-resistant backing for sewn attachment. Confirm the full product identification and applicable technical documents before selecting it for protective clothing.
Keep 8987 and 8987 NFPA distinct
The basic 8987 code should not be treated as identical to a product identified as 8987 NFPA. Do not transfer another variant’s NFPA or EN 469 scope to the material based only on a similar number or appearance. Check the roll label and exact documents supplied for the lot.
Information for a sewn trim sample
- The full material code, approved specification and a photograph of the roll label if available.

- The actual substrate, fabric composition and stretch or flexing at the application area.

Review the seams and garment care
Evaluate the sewn strip at actual dimensions and position. Check appearance, seam placement, bending and the intended care process. Retain the approved material code and lot in the order records; exact garment requirements need separate assessment.
