Can see reflective material without light?

XW Reflective material includes reflective film and reflective fabric, known as their reflection features, which can enhance the visibility of anything with reflective material, but this function only shows under the light emission.

That means the reflective material will not reflect lighting without light, so is it unused at night?

Actually, no.

There is so much lighting at night, moonlighting, road lighting, headlight lighting, lighting almost exits everywhere, and the reflective material has no requirements of the brightness of lighting, if there is lighting, reflective material will reflect, its reflective feature will get stronger when the lighting is getting bright.

If you can’t understand why reflective material always has better visibility than surroundings, let me introduce you to the reflective principle of reflective material.

The reflective material has a reflective coating, which is the main layer of retro-reflective material for the reflective features, with miro glass beads on the layer by special coating technology.
When the original light is emission on the reflective material, the lighting will arrive at the glass beads and then reflect on other side glass beads, final emission to the original light, enhance the visibility of reflective material. This is the basic reflective principle of reflective materials.

With the high requirements of retroreflective features, the wide-angle and coating technology has some adjustments via new technology.

Thus the reflective feature of retro-reflective material actually is the retro-reflective feature. The reflective material can enhance the visibility of itself, brighter than its surroundings.

If you are interested in reflective material, Daiwei -XW Reflective will be a good choice as a reflective material supplier, with a strong ability of supply, can deposit for big production, fast delivery.
