Laminar reflective platelets are made by coating a first synthetic resin lamina on a carrier web and providing release means such as a release coat to provide for release of the lamina. A metallic lamina is coated onto the synthetic resin lamina by vapor deposition in vacuum and a third optional synthetic resin lamina may then be coated onto the metal layer. Each of the three laminae has a thickness on the order of one to 3 millionths of an inch. The thus-coated web is immersed in a releasing solvent to activate the release means. The laminate is removed from the carrier by reason of solution or partial solution of the release coat or release means in the solvent. Removal may be aided by mechanical means such as brushing or scraping. The solvent is agitated to reduce the laminar platelets to final size. Laminar platelets thus formed have a thickness of from 0.5 to 5 millionths of an inch; each has a diffuse reflectance of from 75 to 95%, and 90 to 100% pass through a 300 mesh screen. Concentration of the laminar platelets in the solvent may be increased to 50 to 80% as by decantation. Highly reflective sprayable coatings such as lacquers and enamels may be made therefrom. Weatherable, abrasion-resistant, highly reflective, extremely economical thermally transferable web, commonly referred to as hot stamp tape, is made as a laminate comprising a lamina comprising such platelets and an opaque lamina comprising conventional aluminum pigment and optionally a third lamina comprising a protective coating consisting essentially of methyl methacrylate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A hot stamp tape comprising a carrier sheet, and a highly reflective and corrosion-resistant transferable layer on one side of the carrier sheet, the transferable layer being releasable from the carrier sheet and being attachable to a substrate in response to heat and pressure, the hot stamp tape being characterized by the combination of: the carrier sheet comprising a heat-resistant, flexible, foldable sheet of synthetic resinous material, the transferable layer comprising a.
a protective layer of a transparent flexible, ulraviolet-resistant synthetic resinous material coated on the carrier sheet, b.
a reflective layer coated on the protective layer and comprising 50 to 80% by weight of platelets which include a first lamina of synthetic resinous material, a second highly reflective lamina of aluminum having a thickness of about 0.
3 to 3.
5 millionths of an inch, each of the platelets having a total thickness of from about 0.
0003 to 0.
002 inch, and c.
a layer of non-platelet aluminum pigment coated on the reflective layer.
2.
A hot stamp tape according to claim 1 in which the platelets further include a third lamina of synthetic resinous material to sandwich the second lamina between the first and third laminae.
3.
A hot stamp tape according to claim 1 having a diffuse reflectance of from about 15 to 35%.
4.
A hot stamp tape according to claim 1 in which the thickness of the protective layer is from 0.
1 to 0.
5 mils.
5.
A hot stamp tape comprising a carrier sheet, and a highly reflective and corrosion-resistant transferable layer on one side of the carrier sheet, the transferable layer being releasable from the carrier sheet and being adherently attachable to a substrate in response to heat and pressure, the hot stamp tape being characterized by the combination of: the carrier sheet comprising a heat-resistant, flexible, foldable sheet of synthetic resinous material, the transferable layer comprising a.
a protective layer of a transparent flexible, ulraviolet-resistant synthetic resinous material coated on the carrier sheet, b
