How to solve the life problem of prismatic reflective film？
Prismatic reflective film is a commonly used optical material with multiple functions such as reflection, transmission, and diffusion. It is widely used in optical instruments, handheld devices, automobiles and other fields. Because of its advantages such as long-term use, it is not easy to be damaged, high efficiency and energy saving, it is valued by many manufacturers and consumers. However, with the increase of use time, the performance of prismatic reflective film will gradually decline, and its lifespan has become a common concern. This article will discuss the reasons for the lifespan of prismatic reflective film, the factors affecting it, and the methods to extend its lifespan.
Reasons for the life of prismatic reflective film:
The life of prismatic reflective film is mainly affected by two factors: material properties and environmental factors.
1.Material properties
There are many types of materials for prismatic reflective film. Currently, PET, PC, PMMA, PP, PS, etc. are common in the market. The durability, light transmittance, toughness, etc. of these materials are different, which affects the service life of prismatic reflective film. How to choose the right reflective film material, how to replace it in time when it deteriorates, and how to strengthen maintenance and temperature control are the key.
2. Environmental factors
Prismatic reflective film is generally used in indoor and outdoor places, and often encounters harsh environments such as sunlight, ultraviolet rays, temperature difference and humidity. These environmental factors not only chemically corrode the surface of prismatic reflective film, but also cause certain damage to its physical properties, such as aggravated fading, loss of gloss, and increased surface brittleness. Therefore, choosing the right prismatic reflective film material, avoiding long-term exposure to low pressure, humidity or high temperature environment, and timely maintenance are important ways to extend its service life.
Factors affecting the life of prismatic reflective film:
The daily maintenance of the life of prismatic reflective film is closely related to environmental protection. The following factors often affect the life of micro-prismatic reflective film:
1. Improper maintenance
If the prismatic reflective film is frequently wiped and used, the service life will be reduced, and scratches will easily appear on the surface of the reflective film, damaging the reflective film coating on the surface of the film, thereby shortening the service life of the micro-prismatic reflective film.
2. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays
The prismatic reflective film is exposed to ultraviolet rays both inside and outside the house, especially in open-air places with strong sunlight. Such long-term exposure will cause the color of the reflective film to become lighter or darker. Even if there is no obvious change on the surface of the reflective film, the light transmission effect of the film will be reduced.
3. Poor contact
The prismatic reflective film often requires manual operation when installing and disassembling. If the operation is improper, it is easy to cause cracks and scratches, destroy the surface morphology of the micro-prismatic reflective film, such as shape, thickness and other parameters, thereby affecting the service life of the reflective film.
Extend the life of prismatic reflective film:
In order to ensure the good performance of the reflective film and extend the service life of the micro-prismatic reflective film, there are several ways to consider:
1. Choose high-quality reflective film materials
The reflective films on the market are usually divided into professional and household grades. It is best to choose the right material and model to achieve good reflection and service life.
2. Standard operation
In normal use, just gently scrub the surface of the film and clean and use the reflective film regularly as required. Be extra careful when installing and disassembling to avoid damaging the surface of the film.
3. Avoid long-term exposure to sunlight
It is best to avoid exposing the reflective film to the sun to reduce its exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays, which is expected to extend the life of the prismatic reflective film.
4. Regular inspection and maintenance
Regularly inspect the status, performance and equipment such as the air supply box of the reflective film, follow the use and maintenance guidelines, and replace damaged reflective film and important accessories in time to ensure the good effect and long service life of the micro-prismatic reflective film.
