Reflective Fabric
Reflective fabric is a laminated textile that features a reflective coating, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions, making it ideal for safety apparel and accessories.
About Reflective Fabric
Reflective fabric is typically constructed using a base layer of polyester, which is laminated with a reflective coating. This coating is often made from micro-glass beads or a similar reflective material that reflects light back to its source, enhancing visibility. The fabric is lightweight yet durable, making it suitable for various applications including safety vests, outdoor gear, and sportswear. Its laminated construction provides additional weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use.
