What is flame retardant reflective fabric?

Flame retardant reflective fabric includes a flame retardant fabric base layer, which is characterized by covering the flame retardant fabric base layer with an adhesive layer, an aluminum reflective layer, and a high refractive index glass bead layer from bottom to top, wherein each glass bead has a part of the sphere embedded in the aluminum reflective layer. Clothing made of flame retardant reflective fabric has striking reverse retro-reflective performance when there is weak light irradiation under low visibility conditions.

Why is flame retardant reflective fabric?

The reflective material in flame retardant reflective fabric is made by using the retro-reflective principle of high refractive index glass beads and an advanced process of focusing post-processing. It can reflect direct light from a distance back to the light source, and has striking reverse retro-reflective performance when there is weak light irradiation under low visibility conditions.

Application:

When used as a fire suit or life jacket, as long as there is weak light, the search target can be found, which is conducive to the rescue of firefighters or people wearing such life jackets. Especially at night, it can play the same high visibility as during the day. Safety clothing made of this high-visibility flame-retardant reflective fabric can be easily spotted by other rescuers no matter the wearer is in a remote place or in the presence of light or scattered light.

How many reflective materials are there for flame-retardant reflective fabrics?

  • One is cotton flame-retardant fabric, and the other is aramid flame-retardant fabric. Cotton flame-retardant fabric is not naturally flame-retardant. It is a flame-retardant fabric that has been treated with flame retardants to achieve the effect of no continuous combustion and no smoldering. After such post-treatment, the flame-retardant performance is achieved, and there is a limit on the number of times it is washed.
  • The other is Aramid flame retardant, naturally flame-retardant. Aramid flame retardant fiber is a permanent flame retardant fiber with the advantages of heat resistance, high strength, high wear resistance, good softness, low shrinkage, stable chemical structure, no melting droplets during combustion, as well as  no toxic gas. Usually used in flame-retardant clothing, this natural flame-retardant fabric provides safety guarantees for special workers.

What is flame retardant reflective tape?

High refractive index glass beads are coated on the surface of the base fabric by a coating composite process, so that ordinary fabrics can produce retro-reflective light under the illumination of lights, which can play a role of isolation or slow down the spread of fire sources, and can protect them from fire.

Application:

Flame retardant reflective fabrics can be utilized to road traffic safety products, and are widely used in reflective clothing, various professional clothing, work clothes, fashion, shoes as well as hats, gloves, backpacks, personal protective equipment, outdoor products, etc. It can also be made into various reflective products, and it is also suitable for medium and thick fabrics and thin fabrics.
