Reflective sheeting is made with layers of glass beads or micro prisms, which are applied within a resin layer on the back of the film. The reflective sheeting produced by our company can reflect light effectively to ensure the driving safety of drivers.

This reflective film is a self-adhesive and reflective sheeting for traffic signs, construction signs, road safety products, and other goods, with features of easy to detach, attractive appearance, and high reflectivity make it extremely visible. It has the characteristics of high visibility and good weather resistance. This film will totally increase the safety on the roads, especially at night. As one of our highway safety products, it’s also easy to meet pedestrian visibility requirements.

Retroreflective sheeting is self-adhesive retroreflective material, that can be applied directly by pasting, or embossing, primarily used for traffic signages, this is to increase the nighttime visibility with the headlamps.

This reflective sheeting also can apply to a scanning range of barcodes in the factory warehouse. When comes to reflective license plate film, the reflective sheeting is a kind of security film for the vehicle number plates, can be embossed and hot stamped onto aluminum, the watermarks are always embedded into the reflective sheeting by XW Reflective, this is for the security purpose not to fraud the number plate.

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.

The reflective sheeting film mainly plays the role of warning and reminder, and can be widely used in public security traffic, traffic supervision, fire protection, railways, coal mines, stadiums, and other pavement reminders, warning information, and guidance information.

Micro Glass Beads Type Reflective Sheeting

Micro glass beads type reflective sheeting is made from glass beads and PET,  acrylic, etc plastic film with the principle of catoptrics. The glass beads act as a prism and reflect light back to its source with a mirror-like effect. The reflective feature of the film can be seen from over 1000 feet away by car headlights or flashlights, even in low visibility situations. This type of reflective sheeting is known as retro-reflective material for its ability to reflect light back towards the source.

(2) Color: White/Yellow/Orange/White-Red/Bue/Red

(3) Function: Warning & guiding at night time or bad weather situation to avoid car accident or any other emergency

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 sheeting offers long-lasting durability yet is flexible enough to follow any curves or contours of your traffic signs. In addition, the UV stabilized material will not fade, crack or chalk under strong sunlight.

6) It is suitable for solvent ink jet printing, screen printing and computer cutting.

Takeaway: Reflective sheeting is used for producing reflective road signs that clearly mark out a road, especially at night or in rainy weather.

Commercial Grade Reflective Sheeting

Commercial grade reflective sheeting is a cost-effective reflective film, mainly used for temporary traffic signs, outdoor advertisement signs, mining signs, construction sites, parking areas, fire lanes, and other public locations.

Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting

Engineer grade reflective sheeting is most commonly used for road signs. Reflective sheeting provides high visibility in both cold and hot temperatures and is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. It’s typically deployed at intersections, accident areas, construction sites, utility work sites, business entrances, parking facilities, and drive-in theaters.

Generally, engineer-grade reflective sheeting is used to make temporary traffic signs and some road signs that do have not too much traffic. Meanwhile, the engineer-grade retroreflective sheeting is also widely used for traffic cones and street signs.

High-Intensity Grade Reflective Sheeting

High-intensity grade reflective sheeting became popular for use in road traffic signs around the 1970s, after research proved that this type of product remained highly visible when used in traffic signs close to the highway. The material also holds up well under typical outdoor elements, withstanding fading and breaking when it comes into contact with extreme temperatures. It must be glued onto a substrate or laminated to a plastic sign using pressure-sensitive adhesive.

High-intensity retroreflective sheeting has a high reflective intensity, with excellent reflective feature even at a wide-angle. Therefore, this type of retro-reflective film mainly used for a street signs, highway signs, and regulatory signs, can be seen clearly even on high-speed roads.

For the high intensity reflective film, XW Reflective has the high intensity prismatic reflective sheeting and high intensity glass beads reflective sheeting for selection.

License Plate Grade Reflective Sheeting

The same as the name of license plate grade reflective sheeting, this type of retro-reflective vinyl is used for the number plates. Therefore, there is no high-intensity reflective request for license plate reflective film but needs plotter cutting, hot stamping, embossing, chromaticity printing, laser/thermal printing, or digital printing features according to the different types of license plate requirements.

Applications of number plate reflective film are embossing type plates, digital printing type plate, plastic number plate, motor plate etc.

Retroreflective sign face sheet material has two kinds of technologies, which are glass bead reflective sheeting and prismatic reflective sheeting. Prismatic is also a cube-corner reflector. The light such as the head beam entered close to the corners of the triangular base, reflected off the two nearest sides, and misses the third side. Glass beads type reflective sheeting perform well on wide-angle, whereas prismatic reflective sheeting is much brighter.

XW Reflective provides egp reflective vinyl  and HIP reflective vinyl for sale, you can choose the suitable type based on your requirements.

Diamond grade reflective sheeting is a prismatic reflective sheeting with full cube construction, it will return 60% of the light back to the original lights, such as drivers on the road.

Nowadays, cars getting more and more, the highway becomes much wider than before, to install diamond grade reflective sheeting, the reasons are speed is fast on the highway, and the road is wide.

HIP reflective sheeting is micro prismatic type, meets ASTM D4956 Type IV, this reflective vinyl is widely applied for traffic and road signs, barricades, vertical delineators.

Reflective Sheeting Product Keep Road Safety

In this world, can we still live without warning the drivers and pedestrians? Of course not! The Reflective sheeting is a high-tech product, which has a reflective feature to warn the drivers. Commonly used for night safety products.

Reflective sheeting or also be called reflective film mainly made of a reflective layer and an adhesive layer, which sticks on the back of the traffic zone or other products to warn drivers or transmit some direct information, widely used in traffic signs, road facilities, vehicles, ships and so on.

A road traffic accident is a common thing these days. To save your money, and be better safe, one way to promote road safety is using reflective sheeting to build up your products.

When the night comes, more people like to walk on the street to go home. But at the night, it is not easy to have good eyesight for the pedestrian and drivers to see clear each other. Therefore, the road safety product that is made of reflective sheeting can solve this problem on time, its reflective feature makes the road safety product in the status of high visibility when meeting the headlight lighting, which helps to expand the vision of drivers and pedestrians.

Reflective sheeting offers high visibility when lighted by the truck’s headlights, utility vehicle lights, and streetlights at night. The light reflection of the laminated film makes you stand out at night so that you won’t be too easy to hit by any vehicle.

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.

Of course, if you have demanded to past the reflective sheeting tape on other non-aluminum or non-stainless steel, please take measures according to the adaptability of the reflective film before pasting.

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.

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.
