What is Reflective Cloth?
Reflective cloth is made up of wide angle, exposed retro reflective lens, sticky particles and durable fabric. It is divided into three categories that are heat sensitive, pressure sensitive and sewing type. The base cloth, the adhesives, and the micro glass bead are used in order to make Reflective fabric. Various reflective materials can be perforated to allow better ventilation and get extra breathability. It significantly improves wearers’ comfort in hot and sweaty environments to avoid overheat and stay cool. It is applied to casual wear or active sportswear with custom reflective patterns, for aesthetics or safety in the dark. Compared with silk screen printing, it is much brighter and has better washing performance.
