Reflective material, also known as retroreflective material or retroreflective material. When light hits the surface of the material, it reflects back to the light source and forms a retroreflection phenomenon. Since the reflective material has the function of retro-reflection, i.e. it has more visual effects than other non-reflective materials, it can significantly improve its visibility, allowing people in the light source to easily find the target, useful to avoid accidents and ensure personal safety. safety.

Reflective materials include reflective fabrics, reflective webbing, reflective yarn, reflective tape, etc. Reflective materials used in clothing are as follows:

1. Reflective tape

Reflective tape is made of glass beads with high refractive index on the surface of the cloth by coating or laminating technology, so that ordinary cloth can reflect light under the illumination of light. Reflective tape can be divided into: reflective chemical fiber tape , reflective TC tape, reflective single-sided elastic tape, reflective double-sided elastic tape, etc. Reflective fabric is easy to use and can be cut and machined directly. It can be used for large area and local splicing, and can be further processed into reflective strips. It is widely used in sportswear, casual wear, outdoor bags, shoes and caps and strollers. It can also be used as a personal DIY material and cut into desired shapes.

2. Reflective yarn

Reflective light is a kind of yarn with its own reflective effect. The minimum size can be 0.5mm. There is a reflective twist, made of reflective yarn and yarn. These reflective yarn are mainly used for woven tape or embroidery. Such as socks, hats, scarves and other products to improve nighttime visibility and style.

3. Reflective printed fabric

Reflective printed fabric is a reflective pattern printed on ordinary fabrics, which can make the fabric have a full-angle reflective effect, and can be used as clothing fabrics and other products. According to different processes, different reflective prints are divided into two types: one is traditional printing, the main method is screen printing, and the other is reflective heat transfer film covering, which is usually processed by heat transfer. Compare the production cost of heat transfer. Low, the pattern is continuously open, and the maximum width can reach 140cm; compared with screen printing, its reflective pattern has extremely high brightness, high production efficiency, and better washing effect.
