I'm almost certain thats pure polyester and will melt if you iron it.
I believe you can put a damp towel over it to mitigate and disperse the heat.
I have a shower curtain that is made of material like I assume this is and I have never been able to get the creases out since I have it about 5 years. I didn't try ironing it because I am also certain it would melt no matter how careful I was.
I have tried washing it in hot/cold water, tumble drying, hanging dry etc. And it spends 100% of life hanging in a poorly ventilated bathroom. So 100s of steamings.
OTOH I can recommend, if you would benefit from a large world map in your home but don't have a whole wall to spare, shower curtain world map comes in very handy.
something under 290 deg F shoumd be fine.
Polyester flags in general should be banned. Absolutely disgusting fabric.

Low effort (flag) post
* Flagged
The post looks totally adequate. Good heavy base. Flared for stability.
Did not work. I would like a refund.
No refunds! 
I ain't straight, why should my flag be? 🏳️🌈 
I’m not straight either but I’d iron my flags
big brain time

Not ironing flags is queer culture
having an iron is bourgeois
I just heat up a frying pan. I had an iron, but lost it in the move, so frying pan it is.
The real proletarians let their shit hang outside while they shower

Anyone preoccupied with flags is weird to me.
Best I can do is tumble dry
Toss a damp towel in with it.
Ever just hold a pair of underwear under the tap and toss it in as godd 'nuff?
Lmao, of course
But Melina, I don't own an iron
What if I'm just going to burn the flag?
: 
[imagine a picture of a smooth, ironed pride flag]
flag expert here, they only do this when they're very distressed!!!
I'll begin the incoming struggle sesh about indoor vs. outdoor flags: if you're cold, they're cold
I, too, am an iron your flag person. I have heard some people deliberately do not for some symbolic reason but I can't remember what it is.
the norms around ironing clothes (and by extension owning an iron at all) are classist and i assume racist
Fellas, is it bourgeois to own an iron
Yes
:(
Solidarity with closeted people who have their flags folded hidden away
I like it unironed sometimes, I think it's more casual and inviting.
This had the potential to be the greatest struggle session in Hexbear history, I am disappoint
i saw a post years ago that was about how ironing was actually very bad for pride flags. i assume it was mocking this sort of behavior but idk
YESSSS FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO SEES IT 
I will never own a flag.
If you keep putting creases in the flag eventually it becomes smooth again
Oops! All Creases
What monster owns an iron?
The only iron I own is the iron I'm constantly pumping at the gym and the iron supplements I take.
