Principle of reflective heat transfer tape

Reflective heat transfer tape uses the principle of optical reflection, and its core lies in the microstructure on the surface of the tape - tiny glass beads or microprisms. When light hits these microstructures, the light is gathered and reflected back in the direction of the light source, producing a strong reflective effect. This reflection is retroreflective, which means that no matter at what angle the light is incident, the reflective tape can reflect almost all of the light back, thereby significantly improving visibility at night or in low-visibility environments. This technology is widely used in areas with high safety requirements, such as traffic warnings, outdoor sports, and safety protection.

The effect of reflective heat transfer tape depends not only on the quality of the reflective material, but also on the coating technology of the tape. Through advanced coating technology, YSM reflective heat transfer tape can maximize the reflective intensity while maintaining the softness and durability of the tape, adapting to various complex usage scenarios.

Composition of reflective heat transfer tape

Surface coating: Use wear-resistant and anti-fouling polymer materials to protect the reflective layer from the external environment, while enhancing the service life and reflective effect of the tape. This layer of material has high UV resistance, preventing material aging caused by long-term exposure to sunlight.

Reflective layer: The core reflective layer is composed of millions of tiny glass beads or microprisms. The diameter of the glass beads is usually between 30-60 microns. After the light enters the beads, it undergoes multiple refractions and reflections, and then returns from the incident angle, resulting in a strong reflective effect. YSM uses a high-precision coating process to ensure that each bead is evenly distributed, thereby ensuring the consistency and durability of the reflective effect.

Adhesive layer: The main function of the adhesive layer is to firmly combine the reflective layer and the substrate through heat transfer technology. YSM uses environmentally friendly hot melt adhesive with good hot adhesive properties. It can be evenly and firmly attached to the target material during the heat transfer process without negatively affecting human health and the environment.

Substrate layer: The substrate layer usually uses high-strength polyester (PES) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). PES substrate has good wear resistance and tear resistance, and is suitable for application in high-strength environments. TPU substrate provides higher elasticity and softness, suitable for occasions that require stretching and movement, such as sportswear.

Properties and characteristics of YSM reflective heat transfer tape

Ultra-high reflective performance: The reflectivity of YSM reflective tape is as high as 400cd/(lx·m²), which is enough to meet or even exceed international safety standards (such as EN20471 Class II standard) and provide excellent visibility at night or in low light environments.

Excellent durability: The substrate layer uses high-strength PES or TPU materials, which makes YSM reflective tape not only have excellent wear resistance and tear resistance, but also maintain its structural integrity and functionality after long-term use. Especially in extreme weather conditions, such as high temperature, high humidity or severe cold environment, YSM tape still performs well, ensuring its applicability in various environments.

Excellent elasticity and flexibility: Thanks to the high elasticity of TPU substrate, YSM reflective heat transfer tape can stretch and bend freely with the fabric, especially suitable for sportswear, work clothes and outdoor equipment. This elasticity not only enhances the comfort of wearing, but also improves the durability of the tape, avoiding breakage or falling off due to frequent bending or stretching.

Environmentally friendly: YSM is committed to environmentally friendly production, and its reflective heat transfer tape has passed multiple environmental certifications such as OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring that the product is harmless to the human body and the environment. All materials in the tape adopt non-toxic and environmentally friendly production processes, reducing the emission of harmful substances during the production process.

Process flow of reflective heat transfer tape

The production process of YSM reflective heat transfer tape adopts advanced manufacturing processes to ensure that each batch of products meets the highest quality standards. The process flow is as follows:

Substrate preparation: First, high-quality PES or TPU materials are selected as the substrate. Through surface treatment technology such as corona treatment or chemical treatment, the activity of the substrate surface is increased and its adhesion to the reflective layer is improved.

Reflective layer production: Use precision coating equipment to evenly distribute glass microbeads or microprisms on the substrate. This step is crucial and directly affects the reflective effect of the final product. YSM's coating process ensures uniform thickness of the reflective layer and precise distribution of microbeads, avoiding any defects that affect reflective performance.

heat transfer process: The reflective layer is firmly adhered to the substrate through high-temperature and high-pressure heat transfer equipment. In this process, the temperature and pressure of the heat transfer equipment are precisely controlled to ensure the adhesive strength and stability of the tape. The hot melt adhesive used by YSM performs well in this process and can achieve strong adhesion on different materials.

Post-processing and quality inspection: The finished tape will undergo strict quality inspections before leaving the production line, including reflective performance tests, adhesive strength tests, durability tests, etc. Each roll of tape must meet the strict standards set by YSM before it can enter the market.

Qualification certificate of YSM reflective heat transfer tape

YSM reflective heat transfer tape has obtained a number of international certifications and standards, proving its excellence in quality, safety and environmental friendliness:

OEKO-TEX Standard 100: This is an internationally recognized textile eco-label that proves that YSM reflective heat transfer tape does not contain harmful chemicals and meets human ecological requirements. OEKO-TEX certification ensures the safety and environmental protection of the tape and is an important reference for customers when choosing products.

EN20471 Class II certification: YSM reflective heat transfer tape meets the requirements of high-visibility clothing of European standard EN20471, especially widely used in industrial safety.
