Principle of flame retardant reflective tape

YSM flame retardant reflective tape is a professional material with high visibility and flame retardant properties. It is widely used in various harsh environments where personal safety needs to be ensured. Its working principle mainly relies on the combination of reflective technology and flame retardant technology.

·Reflective principle: YSM flame retardant reflective tape has extremely high light reflective ability by embedding high-refractive glass beads or reflective powder into the surface of the substrate. When light (such as vehicle lights) shines on the reflective layer, the light will be refracted and reflected by the beads multiple times, and return to the direction of the light source in almost the same path as the incident light, thereby greatly improving the user's visibility in a dark environment. This feature is crucial for safety protection at night or in low-light environments.

·Flame retardant principle: Flame retardancy is achieved by adding specific flame retardants to the substrate or using materials that have flame retardant properties (such as aramid). When the tape is exposed to flames or high temperatures, the flame retardant reacts quickly to produce a protective carbonized layer or a chemical that inhibits the spread of flames, thereby preventing the spread of flames. This self-extinguishing property can effectively reduce the risk of fire, especially in high-temperature operations and environments with potential fire risks.

Composition of flame retardant reflective tape

YSM flame-retardant reflective tape is made of multiple layers of materials, each with specific functions and properties to ensure the overall performance of the final product.

Base material:

·100% cotton: natural fiber, good comfort, and excellent flame retardant properties after flame retardant treatment, suitable for protective clothing in contact with the skin.

·100% aramid : This material has excellent flame retardancy and high temperature resistance, making it one of the most ideal base materials for high-risk environments. Aramid can not only withstand extreme temperatures, but also has good mechanical strength, suitable for long-term use of protective equipment.

Reflective layer:
·High refractive index glass beads: These beads are specially treated to reflect light at various angles, ensuring that the reflective effect is not affected by the viewing angle.

·Reflective powder: Through advanced coating technology, the reflective powder is evenly applied to the surface of the substrate to form a coating with high reflective performance. The selection and distribution of reflective powder directly affect the reflective intensity and uniformity.

Adhesive layer:
·Special adhesive: used to firmly bond the reflective layer to the substrate. The adhesive used by YSM has high temperature resistance and aging resistance, ensuring that the reflective layer still maintains good adhesion and reflective effect after multiple washings and long-term use.

Flame retardant:
·Halogen-free flame retardant: Environmentally friendly flame retardant, which releases a small amount of toxic gas when exposed to fire, protects the wearer's breathing safety, and has a highly effective flame retardant effect.
·Aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide: Provide flame retardant effect by physically suppressing flames. These materials have good flame retardant properties and do not produce harmful substances at high temperatures.

Properties and characteristics of flame retardant reflective tape

YSM flame retardant reflective tape has undergone strict material selection and process control, and has many excellent properties and characteristics, which can meet various high-demand application scenarios.

High reflective performance:
·The reflection coefficient of YSM flame retardant reflective tape reaches more than 400cd/(lx.m²), far exceeding the industry standard. This high reflective performance can significantly improve the user's visibility in any environment and effectively reduce the possibility of accidents.

Excellent flame retardant performance:
·The flame retardant materials and processing technology used can ensure that the tape quickly forms a protective layer in a flame environment to prevent the spread of flames. YSM's flame retardant reflective tape complies with international flame retardant standards such as NFPA 2112 and EN ISO 14116, and is suitable for all types of protective clothing and equipment.

Excellent durability:
·The substrate and reflective layer treated by special processes give the tape excellent wear resistance and anti-aging properties. YSM's flame retardant reflective tape can still maintain high reflective performance after 5,000 friction tests, and is suitable for occasions exposed to harsh environments for a long time.

Multiple washing stability:
·The tape has passed multiple washing tests in accordance with ISO 6330, ISO 3175, and ISO 15797 standards to ensure that it can maintain good reflective and flame retardant properties after at least 50 industrial washing or dry cleaning. This feature makes it very suitable for protective clothing that is frequently washed.

Comfort and breathability:
·Due to the use of natural cotton or aramid as the substrate, YSM flame retardant reflective tape not only has excellent flame retardant properties, but also provides high comfort and breathability, which is particularly suitable for protective equipment worn for a long time.

Environmental protection and safety:
·The materials used are all Oeko Tex 100 certified to ensure that there are no harmful substances and meet global environmental standards. At the same time, the flame retardant properties of the tape effectively prevent the spread of flames and will not release toxic gases at high temperatures, ensuring the safety of users.

Process flow of flame retardant reflective tape

The production process of YSM flame retardant reflective tape combines a number of advanced processes and strict quality control measures to ensure that each roll of tape shipped meets the highest standards.

Substrate processing:
·The selection and processing of the substrate is a key step in the production of flame retardant reflective tape. The YSM flame retardant reflective tape factory uses advanced textile equipment to process 100% cotton or aramid materials to ensure that they have sufficient strength and flame retardancy. The materials undergo strict pretreatment and inspection to ensure that they meet production requirements.

Reflective layer coating:
·The reflective layer is coated with a precision coating machine. High-refractive glass beads or reflective powder are attached to the surface of the substrate through a uniform coating process to form a uniform and efficient reflective layer. The coating process used by YSM ensures that the thickness and distribution of the reflective layer are uniform, maximizing the reflective effect.

Flame retardant treatment:
·After the substrate or reflective layer is coated, flame retardant treatment is carried out. The YSM factory uses advanced flame retardant spraying and impregnation technology to ensure that the flame retardant can penetrate deeply into the material, thereby providing long-term and effective flame retardant performance. The flame-retardant treated material needs to be dried and cured at high temperature to ensure the stable combination of the flame retardant and the material.

Bonding treatment and compounding:
·The treated substrate and the reflective layer need to be bonded and compounded with a special adhesive. The adhesive used by YSM has high temperature resistance and chemical resistance, which can ensure that the composite material will not delaminate or lose adhesion during long-term use. The composite material is rolled and pressed many times to ensure that the density and thickness of the material are uniform.

Post-processing and inspection:
·Finally, the laminated flame-retardant reflective tape needs to go through a series of post-processing processes, such as cutting, packaging and labeling. All finished tapes must pass strict quality inspections, including reflective performance tests, flame-retardant performance tests and durability tests, to ensure that each roll of tape meets the highest standards.
