According to the glass beads of different places in the reflective material, reflective material can be divided into exposed type, ceiling type two kinds.
Exposed type refers to the glass beads is located in the most surface reflective material, beads direct contact with air, which has simple structure, reflection performance is good, but can only reflect light, and the surface adhesion of dust, rain reflection performance degradation, the main products are all kinds of reflective fabric, reflective coatings, reflective material that is used for most clothing belongs to this type (pictured).
Ceiling type refers to the glass beads sat on a transparent resin, resin is exposed to air, good weatherability, such materials can be reflected light, the surface is not easy to stick dust, rain is not affected, but the structure is complex, the technological requirements of the equipment are high, the main products are all kinds of reflective film, highway use reflective material that is belong to this type.
