Retro-reflective fabric is the main material for the function of reflective clothing, can reflect the light into original lighting when meeting the light at the poor light place. The luminous wire is the main material of luminous clothing to make it emission, and the luminous wire is electroluminescence or LED luminous wire, which emissions under the control of the circuit.
XW Reflective material includes reflective film and reflective fabric, known as their reflection features, which can enhance the visibility of anything with reflective material, but this function only shows under the light emission.
The composition of reflective clothing - polyester fabric + reflective tapes. The key role in safety clothing is reflective strips sewed on the cloth, it plays a most important role in safety at night, and the polyester fabric is also eye-catching in a day.
For the fashional trend of clothing development, the retroreflective fabric joins the design of fashional clothing. As usual, the reflective fabric is always sewed on the clothing, vest to make as safety clothing, protect the people from traffic accidents by its reflective feature at poor lighting environment.
Many people don't know what is heat transfer vinyl, but you must be worn and seen the T-shirt with logo, words, or fashional graphics like below. Most of these designs on the T-shirt are formed by heat transfer vinyl. And the reflective heat transfer vinyl also is the heat transfer vinyl, but it has the reflective feature, which can reflect the lighting in the poor lighting situation.
Reflective materials include reflective film, reflective cloth and reflective sheeting, always be made as reflective tape, reflective signs, different patterns reflective fabric. Reflective sheeting is always used in traffic road safety, and reflective fabric mainly used for clothing making,
Reflective fabric is a high-tech product closely related to the safety of human life and property and is widely used in clothing production, like traffic safety equipment, uniforms, work clothes, stickers, protective clothing, etc. Reflective material is made of high refractive index glass beads with a different type of fabric, such as polyester, aramid fabric, cotton, etc.
Nowadays, the traffic gets more complicated than before, for people working or riding on the street during day or night time, it is essential to be visible on the road. Thus, high-visibility clothing is highly luminescent in it fluorescent fabric and reflective fabric. The reflective fabric has the following features. reflectance, wide-angle, diversity, and durability.
Rainbow reflective materials stand for those reflective materials that have unique appearance of fluorescent colors from different angles. Normally, there are two kinds of rainbow reflective materials, one is rainbow reflective fabric and the other is rainbow reflective heat transfer film/vinyl.
Years ago we post our blog Outer Shell Reflective Fabric: Trendy Fabric with Great Visibility, and introduce different reflective fabrics for clothing. Its just likes what we expect, Reflective clothing is not only about safety wearing now, but also a new darling of fashion. Reflective Clothing Display At Hermes Showroom (Australia) This is the first time we saw reflective clothing at Hermes. It made by outer shell reflective fabric. Beside of outer shell reflective fabric for clothing, the most widely used REFLECTIVE elements its heat transfer reflective vinyl.
Reflective fabric is a retroreflective material which is used in products like safety jacket, garments, outdoor sports wearing, and fashion clothes. This fabric reflects light back to the light source, making it an excellent material that can be used for safety and effective visibility especially during the night time to identify an object. To put it in simple words, the reflective fabric only is visible brightly when one views the fabric in an angle of the light source, however, when it is viewed from other directions then the fabric appears non-reflective just like any normal material. Reflective fabrics are made of a base cloth that is coated with adhesives and micro glass beads or prism. There are certain technologies like coating and hot pressing methods used in order for this fabric to be made into a retroreflective fabric. These reflective tapes are of two types: Micro glass bead - The latest manufacturing process is used in producing glass beads. It is produced from selected index 1.93 reflective glass beads which makes it reflective and chemical resistant. When lights enter these glass beads, it retracts and then reflects. The ability that these glass beads have to bend the path of light is measured by its index of reflection. So, the higher the quality of the refractive index of the glass bead, the better it reflects light. The micro-glass beads are also coated half with aluminum to create the retro-reflective effect in fabrics. Micro Prismatic - Micro prismatic product has sharp angles like prisms or cube corners which are 2-3 times brighter when compared to the micro glass bead. This is because a micro prism utilizes total internal reflection of light while bouncing back to the light source; hence, there is no wastage of light. Micro prismatic retroreflective materials have a smooth sealed outer surface which helps in protecting and enabling the retroreflective material to work even when it is wet and more efficiently in creating a brighter light. Another important feature of retroreflective sheeting material is its color. This is because the human eye responds to colors and it is detected that fluorescent colors are recognized from a distance than any other standard colors. Hence, retro-reflective fabrics have fluorescent colors that help in protecting and safeguarding when in danger. Retroreflective Tape The retroreflective tape is very important for enhancing high visibility in garments. There is a standard specification of photometric requirements, color, and placement of the tape on the garments. Retroreflective tapes are durable and contain high strength adhesive which is used for marking areas or objects. These tapes are ideal for outdoor use as it is pressure sensitive and can withstand any adverse weather conditions like extreme heat or cold conditions. They come in various colors ranging from white, yellow to orange, green and fluorescent colors. It is also user-friendly which means it is easy to apply as well as easy to keep the surface clean. There are 2 types of Retroreflective tapes. Perforated Flame Resistant reflective tape : Perforated FR [...]
Fire Retardant short for FR clothing is essential to protect workers from oil and gas that involve in burning injuries and fatalities. The Requirement of FR clothing is as followings: 1. arc rating 2. base layer 3. clear length 4. denim 5. energy break-open threshold 6. flame resistant 7. heat stress 8. inherent flame resistance 9. jackets 10. knits 11. lightweight 12. multi-hazard protection 13. zipper The fabric of FR clothing needs to pass the arc discharge test that determines how much energy can pass through the fabric before there is 50% probability of second-degree burns. The base layer, denim, reflective fabric, jacket, and zipper must fire retardant.
