Home Wash (Domestic Laundry) Guidelines

A colored clothing wash program without pre-wash should be used. Follow below recommendation could maintain the durability of retro-reflectivity to its maximum lifespan.

Recommendation:

  1. Detergent: Brand powdered household detergents should be used.
    • Refer to the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for dosage in areas of high-water hardness and for various degrees of garment soiling.
  2. Wash temperature range: 15°C to 30°C
    • Some items could be extended to be home-washed with a wider range of washing temperature than above.
    • Some items could be applicable to wash temperature ranging from 0°C to 90°C for those garments requiring harsher cleaning. Read the physical performance of each reflective tape for the details.
  3. Max. Wash time at highest wash temperature: 12 minutes
  4. Max. Program time: 30 minutes
  5. Use of temperatures lower than 30°C will increase the lifetime of the reflective material.
  6. Actual lifetime will be dependent upon the detergent system and list dosage level.
  7. Load factor higher than 65% might lead to enhanced abrasion of the retro-reflective material

 

Drying Conditions

Tumble Dry: Tumble drying should be performed in a commercially available household dryer

Air Drying: Line drying is recommended where possible.

Hang-Up Drying: on line or rack

Tumble drying and tunnel/air drying are both recommended and applicable to this series of retro-reflective tape. Follow below recommendation will prolong the durability of product.

  • Using the medium dry setting.
  • Exhaust temperature should not exceed 90°C.
  • Do not over-dry.

 

Dry Cleaning Conditions

Dry cleaning should not be applied to V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Low Temperature Heat Transfer Reflective Film at any condition.

We produce other heat transfer reflective film which could be cleaned by dry-cleaning.

For the products that could be applied with dry cleaning, cleaning process should be based on a pre- and main-bath only.

For P it is recommended to only use pure perchloroethylene.

Adjust load and solvent level to give a moderate mechanical action.

  • Max. solvent temperature: 30°C
  • Recommended drying temperature: 48°C
