The principle of retroreflection is reflecting light back towards its source, the simplest retroreflector is a glass sphere or bead, when a light beam, such as car headlight is directed at it, the majority of the light bounces off, but a certain amount of light will pass through the front surface, and it bent or refracted roughly towards the center of the rear surface. Some light hits the rear surface of the beads, refracted back to the original source.
Retroreflective sheeting is also called reflective sheeting, it is a self-adhesive reflective material, which is applied for road safety, vehicle registration plate, commercial signages, construction traffic warning signage.
Reflective sheeting is made by glass bead technology, micro prism technology, synthetic resin technology, thin-film technology, coating technology, and microreplication technology.
Generally, according to the different technology, the reflective vinyl sheeting is divided into micro glass beads reflective sheeting and prismatic reflective sheeting. But they have the same applications in road safety.
Reflective sheeting is consist of three parts – reflective layer, based backing plastic layer, and backing paper to protect the adhesive.
Generally speaking, if people ask for components of reflective sheeting, they mainly want to know about the reflective layer.
There are two types of reflective sheeting has different reflective technology, micro glass beads and prisms on the surface to get the reflective feature. Thus, the reflective sheeting is made of micro glass beads and plastic layer, backing paper, or made of prims on the surface, plastic layer, and backing paper.
The plastic layer can be PET, acrylic, PVC, and PET+arcylic, PVC+ acrylic such mix plastic layer, different plastic layer support different features such as poltter, cutting , screen printing etc.

1) High visibility
The primary function of the reflective sheeting is retro reflection, which means it will back to its original direction after light incident on its surface.
2) Long service life
How durable of the reflective sheeting? Most of the reflective sheeting has good weather resistance, can serve long time.
It is said that there are three levels of weather resistance. The first level is in dry environment, such as indoor or room temperature below 50 degree Celsius.
The second level is in moist environment, such as bathroom and underwater.
The third level is in bad weather: rain, sleet, blowing sanding and snow. Reflective sheeting with excellent weather resistance will let you have a good time at leisure club and fishing club in the evening with good lighting effects.
3) Good flexibility
In the application of reflective sheeting, there are many factors affecting the quality of the reflective sheeting. One of which is reflective sheeting flexibility. The more flexible, the more smoothly its surface is brought into a standard position and the better it reflects light.
4) Effective warning function at night or bad weather.
The reflective sheeting aids visibility at night and in bad weather. For example, they could be used to help warn road users of a temporary hazard or work zone, such as temporary lane closures when crews are working on the bridge. The high-reflective sheeting is installed over an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam with a smooth thermoplastic sheet exterior and a peel-and-stick backing allows for easy installation on existing bridge markings as well as repairs at the side of the road. Reflective pavement markers are available in two colors: one color is 75 percent reflective to provide day-time warning; the other color is 100 percent reflective for nighttime use.
5) Good resistance against dirty and pollution.
Reflective Traffic Signs is made from tough reflective sheeting to keep the signs visible and clean even in harsh weather conditions day or night.

Reflective Feature in Road Safety
Reflective film Reflective tape is a kind of tape that can reflect light in the dark and at night when it encounters light. The reflective part of the reflective tape is based on the principle of retro-reflection of glass beads with a high refractive index, and advanced post-processing through focusing.
It can reflect the direct light from a distance back to the light-emitting place and has good retroreflective optical performance day or night. Especially at night, it can exert the same high visibility as during the day.
The reflective tape made of this high-visibility reflective material can be easily spotted by drivers at night no matter the user is far away, or in the case of light or scattered light interference. The emergence of reflective materials has successfully solved the night driving problem of “seeing” and “being seen”. Mainly used in roads, automobiles, ships, waterways, stages, various passages, and related mechanical equipment.
Suitable substrate material.
It is recommended to stick on the clean and flat aluminum plate or stainless-steel plate after proper treatment. It is not recommended to stick directly on the surface of the plastic, rubber, wood, and other materials.

Treatment of substrate
The surface of the aluminum plate and stainless-steel plate just delivered is very smooth, which is not conducive to sticking. It is necessary to grind 400-500 sandpaper in a circular arc direction for pasting.
The reflective signs of the vehicle body shall be pasted on the surface of the car body which is free from obstruction, easy to see, flat and continuous, and free from dust, water, oil, rust, and paint layer warping.
Clean the substrate before laminating
Before pasting, the dust on the surface to be pasted shall be wiped off. The parts with oil stains and stains shall be removed with a soft cloth dipped in degreasing solvent or cleaning agent, and washed with clean water, and finally dried.
For the part where the paint has been soft, rusty, or warped, the paint shall be removed, the part shall be polished with sandpaper and antirust treatment shall be done, and finally, then the reflective sign of vehicle body could be pasted.
When you cannot paste directly.
When the surface of the car body can not be directly pasted with reflective marks, the body’s reflective marking should be pasted on the strip lining with a certain rigidity, strength, and anti-aging. Then the strip lining board is firmly pasted or riveted to the body.
Don’t affect the performance of the reflective sheeting
According to the introduction of the pasting method, the reflective sign of the car body shall not be drilled or slotted after pasting, otherwise, the performance of vehicle lighting and signal equipment will be affected.
