What is the development trend of reflective materials?
The development of reflective materials will show the following trends:
- First, the technology of reflective materials is developing rapidly. The technology of my country’s reflective material industry is gradually improving and constantly innovating, which plays a positive role in promoting the technological development of the entire domestic reflective material industry.
- Second, the market promotes the development of the reflective material industry. With the quality of domestic reflective materials getting better and better, and compared with the high prices of reflective materials of foreign brands, domestic reflective materials will gradually regain the market occupied by foreign brands for many years.
- Third, enterprises are constantly scaling up. As the profits of enterprises gradually increase, the production scale of reflective material enterprises will continue to grow. With the growth of scale, the technical strength will also grow, and the quality of reflective materials will become better, thus forming a virtuous circle.
- Fourth, various publicity promotes the development of the domestic reflective material industry. Through publicity, the popularity of products and enterprises will be expanded, making the development prospects of the domestic reflective material industry broader.
- Fifth, expand from the special market to the civilian market. With the increasing demand for reflective products, reflective materials, which were originally mainly used in the transportation field, have begun to expand to the field of personal safety protection, which will greatly promote the civilian development of reflective materials.
- Sixth, single functional applications have developed into applications that combine functionality and popularity, further catering to the daily consumption needs of the masses.
- Finally, reflective material companies have expanded from production and manufacturing to safety protection solutions, gradually providing safety protection product solutions, giving customers more choices and better services
What are the different types of prismatic reflective film in reflective film?
Reflective film is a retroreflective material that has been made into a plastic film and can be used directly. It is made using glass bead technology, prismatic reflective sheeting technology, resin material technology, plastic film technology, coating technology and microcopy technology. It is generally available in milky white, yellow, red, green, dark blue, dark brown, orange, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, fluorescent light green, and there are also fluorescent red and luminous pink overseas.
- Engineering grade: It is a durable EGP prismatic reflective film. It is generally divided into two types: pressure-sensitive type and thermistor type. It can be made into various patterns using ink printing technology similar to other printing inks. The service life is generally 3 to 7 years, and the service life of the material varies depending on the manufacturer.
The applicable base plates are aluminum alloy plates and thick steel plates. Engineering grade reflective film is suitable for traffic signs on general roads, that is, general first-, second-, third-, and fourth-level roads and temporary signs. - High-strength grade: Domestic prismatic reflective film is a durable closed reflective film, at least three times brighter than engineering grade. It is generally divided into two types: pressure-sensitive type and thermistor type. It can be made into various patterns using ink printing technology similar to other printing inks.
- Diamond grade: Its light reflection principle is different from the glass bead reflection principle used in engineering grade and high-strength grade. Instead, it uses a new technology of nano-microcrystalline cube reflection. Made of wear-resistant and high-toughness polycarbonate material and microcrystalline cube technology, the diamond-grade prismatic reflective film is compared with traditional engineering grade and high-strength grade reflective film. Its reflective performance is not only doubled, but also the wide-angle lens performance is greatly improved.
