Black areas reflect brightly when viewed with infrared equipment.
The patches are manufactured in our factory here in the
USA
.
Every step of the process is done at Anytime Sign, artwork, screen printing and die cutting.
Manufactured with the SolasX technique.
This patch bears the SolasX mark of authenticity in the lower right corner of the patch.
This mark is only visible when viewed with night vision equipment.
We use the best quality materials and printing techniques:
IR Magic Black Solas3
™
with a Matt finish .
Covert IR MAGIC BLACK SOLAS3
™
has been coated with Magic Black coating.  Magic Black coating covers the reflective surface so that it does not reflect normal light and appears as black to the unaided eye.  However with the used of night vision equipment the Magic Black coating just disappears and the SOLAS3
™
reflects brightly
.
The 3M Company discontinued their 3M Solas material in 2020.
In order to continue to offer products with as close as possible adhesive, appearance, and sewing characteristics as 3M Solas material, we have a Solas material specifically manufactured for Anytime Sign. This material is made specifically for Anytime Sign, and we have registered the trade mark as Solas3™. Solas3™ is a USCG certified material and bears the SOLAS mark.
We use the same IR Magic Black coating on Solas3™ that we used previously on the 3M Solas material, so you should have no trouble switching over to this new material.
However, please request a sample and test it extensively. Put it through all of your manufacturing processes. Definitely let us know if you have any issues with it.
For nearly 40 years, Anytime Sign has used 3M reflective products exclusively.
We continue to use 3M brand products for all of our other reflective materials.  Unfortunately there is no company in the United States that manufactures a Solas grade material similar to 3M’s so we had to go to a source outside the USA to get our Solas3™ material made.
The
VELCRO® BRAND FASTENER we use has the highest quality acrylic-based adhesive glue and is able to withstand extremely hot climates. HOOK SIDE ON THE BACK OF THE PATCH ONLY, WE DO NOT PROVIDE THE LOOP SIDE .
VELCRO® BRAND FASTENER 330 PSA 0172.
Solvent Based Inks.
All the inks we use on our patches are Solvent Based.
Solvent based inks are better than digitally printed or UV inks because they adhere better and have a thicker ink deposit.
Solvent based inks will not fade, even if they are left outdoors for years.
Magic Black Infrared Ink.
Magic Black is made and developed by Anytime Sign.
We regulate the quality and the thickness for ultimate opacity in the visible spectrum.
In the infrared spectrum, Magic Black becomes transparent allowing for the
Solas3™
Brand solas to reflect light back to the Night Vision equipment, providing crystal- clear friend or foe identification.
Matt Top coat.
Patches come with a standard Matt top coat to cut down on possible glare in the visible spectrum.
The matt topcoat is screen printed and will not peel off like a laminate.
In addition to cutting down on glare, the matt topcoat provides protection against scratching, and prolongs the life or your patches (which take a lot of abuse).
