High refractive micro glass beads

Name: Reflective powder, micro glass beads
Specifications: available from 100 to 700 mesh. The colors are mainly is gray and white. Also have red, orange, yellow, green and blue.
Specific gravity: 4.2g/cm3.
Appearance: White: smooth, round, transparent glass, no impurities.
Gray: Silver, bright, smooth, no impurities.
Reflective material products with high refractive index glass beads on the back half surface aluminized as a backward reflector, with strong reverse regression reflection performance, can directly reflect 85% of the light back to the light source, the reflective brightness caused by the regression reflection, can make the driver and the night operators with light source clearly see pedestrians and obstacles at night or in poor visual field. Ensure the safety of both sides.

Application:
Reflective powder is widely used in many fields, such as road traffic signs, night reflective signs, clothing, shoes and hats.
1. Road traffic signs
Reflective powder is widely used in road traffic signs, and its main function is to improve the reflection brightness of signs, thereby improving driving safety. In rainy nights or haze weather, reflective powder can reflect the light of the headlights back to the driver’s eyes, so that the driver can find traffic signs in a relatively long distance, make judgment and treatment in advance, and effectively reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
2. Reflective signs at night
At night or in low-visibility environments, reflective signage can play an important role. Reflective signs prepared with reflective powder can greatly improve visibility and provide protection for people’s safe travel. For example, in places such as construction sites, factories, railways and highways, reflective signs are often set up to alert and guide pedestrians or drivers.
3. Clothing, shoes and hats
With the development of fashion and sports trends, more and more clothing and shoes began to use reflective materials. By using a combination of reflective powder and other reflective materials, the safety of pedestrians and athletes can be improved at night or in low-visibility environments. For example, the soles and LACES of many athletic shoes are made with reflective materials to improve safety and visibility during use.

Use method:
1, the reflective powder can be added to the ink to make reflective ink, screen printing or brush on the fabric or other items. The reflection brightness varies with the amount of powder added. Mixing speed: About 30~ 50% of the weight of glass beads into the transparent ink.
2, first print a layer of aluminum silver paste/aluminum powder at the bottom – surface layer printing reflective ink – drying and curing.
