YSM flame retardant reflective tape factory is able to produce high quality reflective flame retardant tape products to meet the various needs of customers. The manufacture of flame retardant reflective tape is a complex and delicate process. From the selection of raw materials to the packaging of finished products, every step needs to be strictly controlled.

Raw material procurement and preparation

Raw material selection: We select high-quality raw materials such as glass beads, polyurethane resins, solvents and flame retardant additives. The selection of these materials is based on many factors such as their physical and chemical properties, reflective properties, flame retardant properties and environmental protection requirements.

Inspection and storage: After the raw materials arrive, we will conduct strict inspections, including appearance inspections, performance tests, etc., to ensure that the raw materials meet production requirements. At the same time, the raw materials will be properly stored to prevent moisture, contamination or deterioration.

Glass bead processing

Cleaning: Use pure water or special cleaning agents to clean the glass beads to remove dust, oil and other impurities on the surface.

Drying: Dry the cleaned glass beads to ensure that there is no moisture residue on the surface of the beads.

Grading: Glass beads are graded according to particle size by screening or airflow classification to ensure the uniformity and reflective effect of the reflective coating.

Adhesive preparation

Formula design: Design a reasonable adhesive formula according to product performance requirements. The formula includes the types and proportions of components such as polyurethane resin, solvent, and flame retardant additives.

Mixing and stirring: Add the components in the formula to the reactor in a certain proportion and mix them thoroughly and evenly through the stirring equipment. During the stirring process, the stirring speed, temperature, and time parameters need to be controlled to ensure the stability and performance of the adhesive.

Mixing and coating

Mixing: Disperse the treated glass beads evenly in the prepared adhesive to form a reflective coating. During the mixing process, the stirring speed and mixing time need to be controlled to ensure the uniform distribution of the glass beads in the adhesive.

Coating: Use professional coating equipment (such as a scraper coater, a roller coater, etc.) to evenly coat the reflective coating on the substrate (such as PET film). During the coating process, parameters such as coating speed, coating amount and coating thickness need to be controlled to ensure the uniformity and quality of the reflective coating.

Heating and curing

Curing equipment: Use heating equipment such as an oven or tunnel furnace to heat and cure the substrate coated with the reflective coating. The equipment must have an accurate temperature control system and wind speed regulation system.

Curing parameters: Set appropriate curing temperature, time and wind speed parameters according to the characteristics of the adhesive and product requirements. During the heating and curing process, the adhesive will undergo a cross-linking reaction to form a stable mesh structure, thereby enhancing the performance of the reflective flame retardant tape.

Monitoring and adjustment: During the curing process, parameters such as temperature and wind speed need to be monitored in real time and adjusted according to actual conditions to ensure the consistency and stability of the curing effect.

Cutting and packaging

Cutting: Use equipment such as a tube cutter or a slitting machine to cut the cured reflective flame retardant tape into the required size and shape. During the cutting process, the cutting accuracy and speed need to be controlled to ensure the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the product.

Packaging: The cut reflective flame retardant tape is wound or packaged into a finished product. Appropriate packaging materials and packaging methods must be selected during the packaging process to prevent the product from being damaged or contaminated during transportation and storage.

Quality Inspection

Appearance inspection: Perform an appearance inspection on the finished product, including checking whether there are bubbles, scratches, impurities and other defects on the surface of the tape.

Performance testing: Use professional testing equipment to perform performance tests on the finished product such as reflective coefficient, reflective angle, adhesion, flame retardant performance, etc. During the test, the relevant standards and requirements must be strictly followed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

Recording and feedback: The test results are recorded and fed back to the production department and quality management department to continuously improve and optimize the production process.

With its advanced technology and strict quality control system, YSM reflective material manufacturer focuses on producing and providing high-quality reflective products to provide quality assurance for safety protection personnel.
