Reflective Materials

They are engineered to reflect light back to its source with minimal scattering, significantly enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. These materials, often used in safety gear, road signs, and vehicle markings, are designed with tiny glass beads or prismatic elements that efficiently return light to drivers, making objects highly visible at night or in poor weather.

By improving the visibility of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, retro-reflective materials play a crucial role in reducing accidents and enhancing safety on the road.

Some applications include:

a) High Visibility Clothing

High-visibility clothing frequently combines retroreflective sheeting with fluorescent fabrics in order to significantly increase the wearer's visibility from a distance, which in turn reduces the risk of traffic-related accidents. Such clothing is commonly worn as (often mandatory) PPE by professionals who work near road traffic or heavy machinery, often at night or in low-visibility weather conditions, such as construction workers, road workers and emergency service personnel. It is also commonly worn by cyclists or joggers to increase their nighttime visibility to road traffic.

b) For Road Signs and Vehicle Conspicuity

Retroreflective sheeting for road signs is categorized by construction and performance. There are several grades of retroreflective sheeting which include the three major grades: engineer grade, high intensity prismatic (HIP) and diamond grade. Within these categories are further delineations based on material used and visibility distance. Diamond grade typically has the greatest distance for visibility of the three major categories.
