Reflective materials are a type of special material that can reflect incident light back to the direction of the light source. They are widely used in transportation, clothing, advertising and other fields. The following are several common reflective materials and their characteristics:
Reflective cloth
Reflective cloth consists of wide-angle, exposed retro-reflective lens adhesive particles and a durable cloth base. It is easy to use and can be directly cut and processed. It is often used to make reflective sports nightwear, shoes and bags, etc., which can not only improve night visibility, but also have a sense of fashion.
Reflective yarn
Reflective yarn is a yarn with a reflective effect, which is divided into single-sided cut yarn film and double-sided cut yarn film. It can replace traditional needles and threads and is used for knitting knitted items or embroidery. It is both practical and has a "sense of technology" fashion effect.
Reflective printed cloth
Reflective printed cloth is a material with a reflective pattern printed on the entire surface of ordinary fabric. According to different processes, it can be divided into three types: traditional printing, reflective lamination and fancy reflective printing. Traditional printing is to add tiny glass beads to the printing ink, reflective lamination is pasted with reflective patterns through heat transfer technology, and fancy reflective printing uses composite coating technology to compound the pattern onto the fabric.
Reflective leather
Reflective leather is a material that combines the reflective layer formed by glass microbeads with polymer materials such as PVC and PU. It has a high retroreflective coefficient and good reflective performance and is widely applicable.
Reflective lattice tape (strip)
Reflective lattice tape is composed of highly reflective microprisms bonded to a flexible UV-resistant polymer film. It has higher reflective intensity, glossiness and rain resistance, and is easier to color.
Reflective film
Reflective film is the most widely used retroreflective material, mainly used for traffic signs, markings, etc. According to different technologies, it can be divided into glass bead reflective film and microprismatic reflective film. Glass bead reflective film technology is earlier, while microprismatic reflective film has higher reflection efficiency and is the development trend of modern reflective technology.
BOPET reflective film
BOPET reflective film is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is made by biaxial stretching. It has excellent performance and wide application.
Jingjingge
Jingjingge is a reflective material made of PVC and glass beads, mainly used for outdoor advertising and low-end traffic facilities. It has good ink absorption and is often used in the advertising inkjet industry.
These reflective materials play an important role in different fields and provide important support for night safety and visual recognition.
