Reflective fabric is a kind of fabric with reflective effect, which is widely used in safety clothing, outdoor sports equipment and other fields. To identify high-quality reflective fabrics, we can evaluate from the following aspects:
First, look at the reflection effect. High quality reflective fabrics will have a significant reflection effect under light exposure and can reflect strong light. When selecting, you can expose the reflective fabric to strong light and observe whether its reflection effect is bright and bright. In addition, you can use a flashlight or mobile phone flash to illuminate the reflective fabric and observe whether the light reflected is uniform.
Second, check the texture of the reflective fabric. High-quality reflective fabrics are usually made of high-quality fiber materials, soft texture, smooth, and have high elasticity and wear resistance. You can touch the fabric with your hand to feel whether its texture is delicate and whether there is an obvious sense of roughness. At the same time, you can also stretch the fabric, observe its resilience, high quality reflective fabric elasticity is good, after stretching can quickly return to the original state.
Third, check the reflective coating of the reflective fabric. High-quality reflective fabrics usually use reflective coating technology, which can be evenly coated on the surface of the fabric. You can carefully observe the reflective fabric in a well-lit environment to check for uneven coating, bubbles or scratches. If the quality of the reflective coating is not good, it will not only affect the reflective effect of the reflective fabric, but also may cause the reflective layer to fall off or defect, affecting the service life.
Fourth, check the durability of reflective fabrics. High-quality reflective fabrics have good durability and can withstand long-term use and washing without damage. You can view the washing label on the reflective fabric to understand its washing method and precautions. If the reflective fabric can still maintain a good reflective effect and the original appearance quality after several washes, it indicates that it has good durability.
Fifth, refer to the brand and certification logo. Some well-known brands pay attention to the choice of material and quality when producing reflective fabrics, and the accuracy of identifying high-quality reflective fabrics can be improved by choosing the products of these brands. In addition, some certification bodies will also evaluate and certify reflective fabrics, such as the European Union's EN ISO 20471 standard certification and the United States ANSI/ISEA 107 standard certification. When purchasing reflective fabrics, you can query the relevant certification logo and choose certified products.
In summary, the identification of high-quality reflective fabrics can be evaluated by observing the reflective effect, checking the texture, reflective coating, durability, and referring to the brand and certification logo. These methods can help us select high-quality reflective fabrics, ensuring that they have good reflective effect and durable performance.
