When it comes to reflective fabrics, some people may find this material unfamiliar and have questions about what it is, what its purpose is, where it can be used, and so on. In fact, reflective fabrics were applied by many designers to fashion clothing as early as a few years ago, shining brightly in various spring, summer, autumn, and winter fashion weeks. Reflective fabrics can be used in clothing related to human life and property safety, such as traffic safety equipment, uniforms, work clothes, protective clothing, etc. They can also be used to make reflective pendants, rain gear, raincoats, sportswear, backpacks, gloves, shoes and hats, reflective straps, etc.


Reflective fabrics have good reflective properties. Due to the wide-angle nature of the surface layer of the fabric, excellent reflection can still be achieved when light is incident from a viewpoint that is extremely close to the reflective fabric surface. It can reflect direct light from afar back to the emitting area, and has outstanding retroreflective optical function whether in the daytime or at night. The work clothes made of this high visibility reflective fabric can be easily detected by night drivers even when the wearer is in the distance, or when disturbed by light or scattered light. In addition, reflective fabrics also have aging resistance, wear resistance, and washing resistance. They can be washed with water or dry and are not easily peeled off. After multiple washes, they can still maintain a reflective effect of over 75%.


Reflective fabrics can not only be used in the clothing industry to serve as safety warnings at night or in cloudy, rainy, and hazy days with poor visibility, but also in the fields of architecture and automobiles to provide certain shading and thermal insulation effects. Cover the surface of the car with fabric, and after half an hour, measure the temperature inside the car. It can be found that the temperature inside the car covered with a layer of fabric will decrease by about 15 ℃ compared to the temperature inside the car directly exposed to sunlight. In summer, it can reduce the heat absorption of vehicles, so the temperature naturally does not increase significantly. At the same time, with the shielding of fabric, it can also reduce the damage of direct sunlight to the components inside the car, which to some extent delays the aging of the components.
