Principle Of Reflective Cloth

Apr 05, 2021

Reflective fabric is widely used in outdoor fields such as safety equipment, uniform, tooling, environmental protection clothing, etc. reflective fabric can reflect the direct light from afar back to the light-emitting place, and has outstanding retro reflective optical function in day or night. The product consists of four parts: base material, compound glue, reflecting layer and glass bead.


There are many kinds of reflective materials, from reflective cloth, reflective thermal film, reflective ribbon, flame retardant reflective cloth, to reflective silk, reflective lattice strip, reflective binding, reflective leather and so on. Different reflective materials have different characteristics and uses.


According to the different base cloth, the most common materials of reflective cloth are chemical fiber cloth and T / C cloth.


1、 Chemical fiber cloth, our company mainly uses T170 (soft type), t190 polyester taff, polyester taff is a kind of all polyester thin fabric, which has the advantages of light texture, durable and easy to wash, low price and good quality.


2、 T / C cloth, which is made of polyester and cotton, is characterized by good texture and high strength. The general standard is to mix 65% polyester and 35% cotton. However, considering the cost and actual demand, most of the T / C Fabrics currently used by our company are 80% polyester and 20% cotton.


With the enhancement of people's awareness of travel safety protection, the market of reflective materials will continue to expand. Therefore, only by constantly carrying out product research and innovation and keeping pace with the times, can more new materials be derived.


Reflection principle of reflective materials


When a beam of light irradiates the front surface of the bead at any angle within a certain range, it concentrates on the reflective layer of the back surface of the bead due to the high refraction of the bead. The reflective layer reflects the light back and forms a return reflection. When many glass beads are reflected at the same time, the front bright scene will appear, which is the cloth formed by compounding glass beads on the cloth base, which is called reverse reflection Light cloth. Whether the wearer is far away or disturbed by light or scattered light, the work clothes or daily clothes made of the high visibility reflective cloth can be easily found by night drivers in advance.
