A wide range of application of the reflective material

China reflective material in the application of the identification industry began in the early 1980s, since then, with the gradual development of the reflective material industry in China to expand the scope of use is also widely related to public security traffic, traffic supervision, fire, railway, coal and other departments, as well as in ensuring the field of personal safety, labor protection articles and civilian products widely used.

After the 1990s, the reflective material market started on the right track. Product applications and more areas, professional become ever more finely, relevant departments of the different uses of reflective materials were developed to international standards or industry standards. For example: National Occupational Standards EN-47l (high-visibility warning clothing), "Road traffic signs reflective film. Europe and the United States and other Western countries also regulate the use of reflective materials as an important basis for the insurance compensation, regulations or encourage, require or promote the use of reflective material. Such as rain, fog, snow, night sight ability to distinguish environment, the elderly, children go out must wear or wear signs or clothing with reflective material. Civil reflective material is reflective cloth, reflective lattice film, reflective printing cloth.

Reflective material for industry mainly refers to the five levels of the reflective film, diamond grade reflective sheeting, high-strength grade reflective sheeting, engineering grade reflective film, advertising reflective film license plate grade reflective film, mainly used for the production of all kinds of reflective signage number plates of vehicles, safety facilities. Play a significant warning to its bright colors during the day, at night or in low light conditions, the its bright reflection effect can effectively enhance the ability to identify people see the goal, to raise the alarm, so as to avoid accidents, reduce casualties, reduce economic losses, to become the road traffic indispensable security guards, has obvious social benefits.

At any time with the development of the national economy, the development of roads, very rapidly, the rapid increase of Chinas highway mileage, high-speed highway traffic engineering, information technology has become the development direction. With the construction and development of Chinas urbanization, the urban environment and beautify the essential elements. All-round, full interchange urban road more and more, at the same time, a variety of vehicle ownership is growing, the traffic increasing prosperity. Attendant, traffic management, traffic safety has been mentioned a very important position. Enhance traffic management, to ensure traffic safety, to ensure the development of the national economy, to ensure the safety of peoples lives and property, has become the consensus. Increase traffic signs, road traffic safety facilities, vehicle identification, signs the setting is a very important part of traffic safety management. Abroad, a figure, traffic and road signs and accident probability of 70%, a distinctive traffic and road signs to drivers and pedestrians reflection on good terms, can effectively reduce accidents and improve traffic efficiency. According to statistics, in 1996, the country night traffic accident a total of 81,562 cases and 2535 deaths, accounting for 28.3% of the full year due to the number of traffic fatalities. No lighting conditions, the use of reflective material eye-catching set of traffic signage, vehicle license, wear clothes decorated reflective material, allows traffic accidents decreased by 30-40%.

China has high-grade highways more than two (including two) of about 200,000 km, including 11,000 km of high mileage, average film is about 50m2 / km, highway film is about 30m2 / km. The total length of highways 1.336 million kilometers, only 1999 new high-grade highways 15,400 km, ordinary road film about 12m2 / km of growth, and each grade highway speed of about 50,000 kilometers .

"10th Five-Year Plan" period, China Road and five vertical and seven horizontal, twelve national trunk road mileage of 35,000 km. Western Highway mileage will reach 350,000 km by 2010. In addition, many of the early completion of high-grade highways are constantly transforming, a large number of reflective signs urgently added to the update. In addition, China has approximately 60,000 km of railway line with the requirements of the new construction and renovation, the train speed and railway signs with retroreflective material-technical conditions "(TB/T2929-1999) the implementation of standards, railway signs are also promoting the use of high-strength membrane. Film 7-8 square meters per kilometer (which is the most conservative calculation). Chinas annual film is about 2.5 million square meters.

To 2010 for the Chinese market road, railway film of at least 25.6 million square meters, accounting for about 45% of the amount of high-strength film, to 11.52 million square meters. A cyclical loss due to the reflective material, reflective film every 7-10 years need to be updated, China continues to increase investment in transportation, it is reflective film market was a rapid upward trend. According to statistics, it is expected that in the future, the Chinese New Year with the increase in the amount of film is not less than 20%. Secondly, forest, mountains areas, tourist attractions, docks, marine and coastline areas such as the widely used yet in the statistics.

Countries around the world, including the Chinese government have put in a lot of relevant policies, can be said is mandatory. High-strength film series reflective material in roads, railways, shipping, and many other areas has become an inevitable trend. By Chinas own R & D in 2005 introduced a new type of reflective material - reflective printing cloth. The introduction of reflective printing cloth and opened the reflective material in the advertising market. The characteristics of this new material are: First, super reflective strength: its reflection technique is based on the worlds most advanced microcrystalline whole grid reflective shot of reflective material, super reflective intensity, the typical reflective intensity can reach 300cd/lx/m2. Second, direct printing: the surface layer of the PVC polymer materials, strong ink direct printing. , Easy to use: the substrate type folder mesh and PVC stickers, mesh folder grassroots superior tensile strength, can be used like ordinary mesh folder, direct printing, direct taut installation; PVC self-adhesive type directly on any smooth fabrics paste.
