Reflective Fabric of Colorization
V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Reflective Fabric is composed of wide angle, exposed retro-reflective lenses bonded to a durable cloth-backing. This retro-reflective material is made out with micro glass bead retro-reflective technology.
V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Reflective Fabric is designed for use on safety garments, occupational apparel, fashion and casual wear. When properly used, V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Reflective Fabric helps enhance the visibility of the wearer in nighttime or low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source such as headlights, by returning the light back toward the original source and reaching the automobile driver?s eye.

Handling Precautions
V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Retro-Reflective Fabric/Tape contains an aluminum layer as part of their construction. Blemishing of this aluminum layer can occur if surface of the product has direct contact from hands during application and is then exposed to hot and humid conditions, greater than 26.7 °C (80 °F) and greater than 70% relative humidity, for a period of weeks. These blemishes do not affect performance of the product. But potential blemishes should be carefully considered as an important risk in marketing of end-use products.
V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Retro-Reflective Fabric/Tape contains an sand-feeling reflective layer which is bonded to a textile fabric via an eco-friendly adhesive. Chemical moisture, liquid, oil, or other chemical elements may lead to a series of chemical reactions for a certain period of time, then result in a series unexpected subsequence on the reflective layer of fabric. Any remains of chemical elements happen to direct contacting to surface of fabric should be cleaned immediately.
We recommend that all customers, in accordance with good manufacturing practices, establish an ongoing quality system which includes maintaining lot/roll identification throughout the garment production process.
Customer should also store input materials and final products in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, as well as implement continuous testing throughout their production and on their finished garments that reflects their garment needs.
For lamination operations, customers should periodically check their equipment to ensure that the temperature set point matches the platen or roll temperature and that the temperature is uniform across the lamination area.
Specific Safety Information
Various environmental factors, like line of sight, rain, fog, smoke, dust and visual noise can influence retroreflectivity.
- The reflective intentsity of retro-reflective tape can also be diminished in extreme weather conditions.
- Fog, mist, smoke and dust can scatter the light from headlights, the wearer must be aware that detection distance will be severely reduced.
- Visual noise (contrast variations in the visual field) decreases the contrast of the reflective material with the background and affects the visibility in low-light conditions.
V-REFLEXTM Reflective Material - Industrial Wash Reflective Fabric/Tape exceeds the retro-reflective performance requirements in rainfall conditions as defined in EN ISO 20471 and ANSI/ISEA 107.
Initial brightness levels return as the material dries.
Maintenance Misuse
No harsh mechanical treatment, e.g. abrasion with wire brushes or sand paper.
No uniform coating or spraying of oils, protective waxes, inks or paint.
No application of products such as leather spray or shoe shine.
Product Storage
Store in a cool, dry area and use within 1 year of receipt.
Rolls should be stored in their original cartons, whilst partially used rolls should be returned to their carton or suspended horizontally from the core via a rod or pipe.
Cut sheets should be stored flat.
