YSM as reflective tape for clothing manufacturer, our product line includes heat transfer reflective tape, reflective cloth tape, and flame retardant reflective tape. These three tapes have their own characteristics and are suitable for different needs and application scenarios. The following will analyze the product attributes, characteristics, applications and advantages, and further explore the differences between the three.

Heat transfer reflective tape

Material: Usually PES or TPU substrate is used, with excellent softness and durability.

Reflective coefficient: Up to 500cd/lux·m², ensuring significant reflective effect under low light conditions.

Various colors: mainly silver-gray, and a variety of colors can also be customized to meet specific design needs.

Elasticity and adaptability: Because the material is soft, it is suitable for clothing and elastic fabrics.

Application:

Heat transfer reflective tape is mainly used in sportswear, casual wear, work clothes and other fields. It is suitable for occasions where large-area reflection is required to ensure safety at night or in low-light environments.

Advantages:

Good washability: It can pass ISO6330 and other washing standards certification, can withstand multiple industrial washing and dry cleaning, and is extremely durable.
Easy to process: No sewing is required, and it can be directly transferred to the fabric by heat pressing to improve production efficiency.
Environmental protection: It does not contain harmful substances and meets environmental protection standards such as Oeko Tex 100.

Reflective fabric tape

Material: Usually TC cloth, 100% polyester cloth, etc. are used as the base material, with high strength and good durability.

Reflective coefficient: It is also as high as 500cd/lux·m², which can significantly improve the wearer's visibility.

Strong weather resistance: It can withstand harsh climatic conditions and is suitable for outdoor use.

Application:

Reflective fabric tape is widely used in outdoor clothing, work clothes, traffic control clothes and other occasions, suitable for occupations and environments of long-term outdoor work.

Advantages:

High durability: It can withstand harsh working environments and frequent use, and has a long service life.
Flexible process: It can be sewn on various fabrics, easy to process and use.
Waterproof and dustproof: It has certain waterproof and dustproof capabilities, further extending the product life.

Flame retardant reflective tape

Material: It uses high heat-resistant substrates such as 100% cotton or 100% aramid, with excellent flame retardant properties.

Reflective coefficient: It remains at around 450cd/lux·m², which is slightly lower than other types, but can still ensure visibility in emergency situations.

Flame retardant standards: It has passed international flame retardant standards such as NFPA 2112 to ensure safety protection in high temperature or fire scenes.

Application:

Flame retardant reflective tape is mainly used in firefighting clothing, protective clothing, industrial safety clothing and other fields that require both reflective and flame retardant properties.

Advantages:

Strong flame retardancy: It effectively prevents combustion in extreme environments and ensures the life safety of the wearer.
Multiple certifications: It complies with multiple standards such as EN20471 Class II, ANSI/ISEA107-2020, and has a wide range of applicability.
Excellent durability: Not only does it have good flame retardant properties, but it can also withstand washing tests such as ISO6330 to ensure long-term reliability.

Difference analysis

Substrate: Heat transfer reflective tape mainly uses PES or TPU, which is soft and suitable for elastic fabrics; reflective cloth tape is mainly TC cloth or polyester cloth, which is durable; flame retardant reflective tape uses cotton or aramid, which has high heat resistance and flame retardant properties.

Reflective coefficient: The reflective coefficient of heat transfer reflective tape and reflective cloth tape is higher, usually up to 500cd/lux·m², while the reflective coefficient of flame retardant reflective tape is slightly lower, about 400cd/lux·m², but it is enough to meet the reflective needs of emergency occasions.

Application field: Heat transfer reflective tape is mostly used for sports and leisure clothing; reflective cloth tape is more suitable for outdoor, industrial and other occasions with high durability requirements; flame retardant reflective tape is the first choice for special protective clothing, suitable for extreme environments.

Washability: All three can pass ISO-certified washing tests and have excellent durability, but due to different substrates, the washability performance under extreme conditions may be different.
