Tips To Help You Know Reflective Fabric
Many times we can see some clothing with reflective materials, such as reflective vests, reflective clothing, reflective ponchos, etc. We usually think that this is just a fashion, but we do not know that it is also a way of safety warning and guarding travel. Let’s learn about the introduction and application of reflective fabric.
What is reflective fabric?
Reflective fabric is also called: retroreflective fabric, or reflective material.
It is the glass beads applied to the fabric, that the headlamp light into the glass beads will come back to the original light sources based on the optical principle. That means the reflected light returns to the direction of the light source mostly in the direction of reflective clothing wearers. That’s why we said retroreflective fabric is a kind of fabric with a safety function.
Application
Reflective fabric as a safety functional product with high visibility feature has been widely used in traffic, sanitation, public security and other special industries outdoor staff night work work work wear.
When they wear and carry reflective material personnel working or walking at night, due to its return reflection function so that the driver can find the target at a distance, so as to avoid accidents.
For ordinary people have different degrees of nighttime activities, so their clothing, shoes, hats, bags, rain gear, etc. plus reflective cloth, can improve their own security. The higher the reflective intensity, the better the eye-catching effect, and the farther the driver finds the target.
At the same time, reflective material fabric as a safety function for clothing and apparel reflective cloth, it is not only requires high visibility at night, but also must ensure the requirements of wearing such as washable, wearable, waterproof, etc.
What are the types of reflective fabric?
There are chemical fiber cloth, TC cloth and silver reflective cloth. The chemical fiber cloth and TC cloth have the difference of general brightness and high brightness.
Color: gray / silver
Based fabric: cotton, chemical fiber, T/C (65%polyester 35%cotton)
Specification: 1cm-150cm (can cut strips)
Packing: 100m/roll
Application: Used for reflective clothing, various professional clothes, casual clothes, sportswear, fashion, hats, gloves, backpacks, etc. It can also be used to make various reflective products and accessories.
The production and processing technology of reflective fabric
Reflective fabric is mainly divided into two categories: traditional reflective fabric and digital printing reflective banner tape.
For the printable reflective banner fabric can also be called as crystal color grid, which was launched in 2005. It is a newest reflective material can be made by the digital printing method. It can be used on many occasions.
Since there are many uses of reflective fabric, what are the techniques for making reflective material fabric, and is it difficult?
According to the authorities, the principle of retroreflective fabric production is actually very simple. Its processing is the high refractive index of glass beads with a coating process in the surface layer of the cloth base, and then let the ordinary fabric in the light of this light can reflect the light.
Daily Application
Reflective fabric tape as our safety functional product has long been used in our traffic and public security and sanitation industry. Now it has been used in some special industries for outdoor personnel in the nighttime work uniforms.
If the staffs who work in poor light environment wear reflective undershirts, reflective raincoats, etc., at night for work or walking, the retro-reflective fabrics on the clothing can be very obvious that drivers can not find them in a very far place, so the use of this reflective function can be very good to avoid many accidents.
Reflective tape fabric for our ordinary people, it is also helpful in our daily clothing, such as wearing reflective material clothing, shoes, hats or bags and rain gear and some other equipment.
