Reflective cloth tape is a product widely used in outdoor fields, such as safety equipment, uniforms, work clothes and environmentally friendly clothing. Reflective fabrics can reflect distant direct light back to the source of light, providing excellent retroreflective optics during the day or night. The product mainly consists of four parts: base material, composite glue, reflective layer and glass beads. There are many kinds of reflective materials, from reflective cloth, reflective thermal film, reflective webbing, flame-retardant reflective cloth, to reflective wire, reflective grid strips, reflective Edges, reflective leather, etc. Different reflective materials have different properties and uses. Depending on the base fabric, the most commonly used fabric for reflective fabrics is polyester-cotton fabric.


Polyester-cotton blended fabric has the characteristics of good texture and high strength. . The general usage standard is 65% polyester and 35% cotton. However, considering the cost and actual demand, most of the T/C fabrics currently used are 80% polyester and 20% cotton blended fabrics.


As people's awareness of travel safety protection increases, the market for reflective materials will continue to expand. Therefore, only through continuous product development and innovation can more new materials be obtained.


Reflection principle of reflective materials: When a light beam is incident on the front surface of microbeads at any angle within a certain range, due to the high refractive effect of microbeads, the light beam is concentrated on the reflective layer on the back surface of microbeads. The reflective layer reflects the light back and creates retroreflection. When multiple glass beads reflect at the same time, a bright scene will appear in front of you, that is, the cloth formed by composite glass beads on the cloth base is called reflective cloth. Work clothes or everyday clothing made of this high-visibility reflective fabric can be easily detected in advance by night drivers, regardless of whether the wearer is far away or disturbed by light or scattered light. Thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents.
