Why reflective materials can reflect light

Reflective materials can be seen everywhere in daily life, such as reflective cloth, reflective lattice, reflective ribbon, etc. Since the development of reflective materials in 1979, there have been large and small companies specializing in the production of reflective materials in the market. For example, Hangzhou Xinghua Reflective is one of the industry leaders, with nearly 20 years of experience in the research, development and manufacturing of reflective materials. Many people wonder why these reflective materials can reflect light? In fact, the main reason is that among these different reflective materials, there is a structure called glass bead. The structure of glass bead reflective materials is mainly glass bead, silver metal coating, glass bead fixing layer and hot melt adhesive.

When light shines on these dense glass beads, it will reflect back to the light source, resulting in excellent reflective effect and warning effect. Compared with ordinary clothing materials, the safety of products sewn with reflective materials is greatly improved. Especially when driving at night, the visibility of different clothing materials at night is very different, as shown in the following figure:

Therefore, reflective materials reflect light by using the principle of retro reflection. The principle is simple, but it provides a great help for our daily life safety. With the economic development of our country and the people's increasing attention to external safety, the market capacity of reflective materials industry is growing, and the industry leaders will also assume more and more safety responsibilities.
