What should I pay attention to when purchasing reflective clothing?
The use of reflective materials provides safety protection and warnings for various places, effectively reduces the risk of traffic accidents, and promotes safe relationships between vehicles and roads, and between vehicles.
In addition, reflective materials are also widely used in professional clothing to ensure that workers can be conspicuously noticed when exposed to light during the day or at night to avoid accidents.
The merits of reflective clothes:
Reflective clothing is usually made of fluorescent colors, and the bright fluorescent color forms a strong contrast with the surrounding environment during the day, which can timely arouse the attention of other passing vehicle drivers.
At night or when visibility is low, its 360-degree large-area reflection can quickly arouse the attention of drivers and bystanders from a long distance when illuminated by car lights, greatly reducing traffic accidents and facilitating search.
The reflective part of the reflective clothing manufacturer is made by using the principle of refraction of the micro-diamond shape of the lattice and the retro-reflection of high-refractive glass beads, and the advanced process of focusing post-processing.
It can reflect direct light from a distance back to the light source, and has good retro-reflective optical performance regardless of day or night.
Especially at night, it can have the same high visibility as during the day.
Safety clothing made of this high-visibility reflective material can be easily spotted by night drivers regardless of whether the wearer is far away or under the interference of light or scattered light.
The emergence of reflective materials has successfully solved the problem of “seeing” and “being seen” when driving at night.
Common reflective materials on the market mainly include the following:
1. Reflective film. By using coating, lamination, composite, and other technologies, high-refractive glass beads or microprisms are embedded in the surface of the material to create a functional composite material to reflect light and form a reflection phenomenon.
This reflective film is widely used in reflective film, license plate reflective film, and other fields.
2. Reflective cloth. Reflective cloth is a material with reflective properties, which is often used to make various warning signs, safety reflective clothing, etc.
According to the different reflective effects, reflective cloth can be divided into high-angle reflective cloth, low-angle reflective cloth, all-around reflective cloth, etc.
3. Reflective lattice. Reflective lattice is a material made of a micro-prism structure, which is unique in its high reflectivity and wide angle.
It is widely used in the production of various signs, warning signs, etc.
In addition, there are other reflective materials, such as reflective fabrics, reflective coatings, etc.
What are the differences in reflective clothing?
In the downstream market, an important application area of reflective materials is high-visibility warning clothing, and the main products are various reflective clothing items that we can see everywhere in our daily lives.
There are many domestic companies specializing in reflective clothing.
In addition to the differences in production processes and other aspects, an important difference between different reflective clothing is the reflective materials used.
Different reflective materials largely determine the quality level of reflective clothing.
In relevant national standards (such as GB 20653-2020), the reflective level standards of reflective clothing are clearly defined and required.
Enterprises must choose reflective clothing that meets national standards when purchasing.
In general, reflective warning clothing is of great significance to improving the safety of related workplaces and activity venues such as buildings, municipalities, transportation, and factories.
It helps to protect personal safety and reduce the occurrence of accidents, and helps to effectively improve the safety production management of enterprises.
