What protective effect does reflective material have on our safety?

We know that reflective materials mainly include reflective film, reflective ink, reflective marking paint, reflective cloth, reflective leather, reflective webbing, reflective safety silk fabric, etc. The reason why reflective materials can reflect light is mainly because the vast majority of reflective materials contain high refractive index glass microspheres. Due to its existence, the incident light is reflected back to the light source along its original path, forming a phenomenon of retroreflection. Due to its ability to concentrate almost all light within a very small angle range and reflect it back, its brightness is much higher than that of ordinary objects.
Reflective materials are high-tech products made of glass microbeads or microprism materials, using the principle of optical refraction and directional regression, and have no radioactive, toxic, or side effects on the human body. Warning signs and clothing decorations made of reflective materials are hundreds of times more eye-catching under light than other non reflective materials. A gray regression directional reflective sign with a diameter of half a meter, under the illumination of car headlights, can enable drivers to detect targets within a distance of 800 meters.
Reflective materials have significant effects on ensuring traffic safety, equipment safety, and personal safety, especially providing special protection for the safety of the elderly, children, and disabled. They will play a positive role in significantly reducing various accidents.
What kind of protection does reflective material provide for people’s safety?
Reflective materials are high-tech products produced using glass microbeads or microprism materials based on the principle of optical refraction and directional regression. They have no radiation, toxicity, or side effects on the human body. Reflective materials have been widely used in foreign transportation facilities and personal safety facilities.
The editor suggests consciously wearing clothing with reflective materials: many people mistakenly believe that reflective materials are patented for work clothes such as road cleaning, and wearing them by those with status is a way to reduce their value. The functional aspect of clothing has become one of the trends in the future. Among the various clothing properties that people pursue, safety has the highest value and is difficult to measure in money.
The domestic reflective material market has entered the right track, and the application fields of products are becoming wider and more specialized. International standards or industry standards have been developed for reflective professional clothing for different purposes, such as the international professional standard EN471 (Xinghua Reflective Materials far exceed this standard). Secondly, the standardized use of reflective materials is an important basis for insurance compensation in developed Western countries such as the United States. The state also uses regulations or encouragement forms to regulate or promote the use of reflective materials. For example, in environments with poor visual recognition such as rain, fog, snow, and night, the elderly and children must wear signs or clothing with reflective materials when going out. Famous foreign sports and leisure product companies have taken the lead in using reflective materials on clothing, shoes, hats, and bags for office workers’ morning and evening exercises, adding safety functions to clothing on the basis of beauty and practicality.
The use of reflective materials in clothing is a major trend in international fashion and a special manifestation of fashion and luxury. At present, the sports equipment category has started to include reflective shoes and hats, reflective cotton jackets, reflective casual wear, and other products. It is particularly emphasized that Xinghua reflective materials still have luster and reflective effects after washing or rinsing. It can be said that reflective materials have become a trend to shine under the night sky.
