How does reflection occur?

< Back


Reflective materials can reflect light, mainly because most of the reflective materials contain a high refractive index glass beads. It is precisely because of its existence, the incident light will be reflected back to the original light source, the formation of regression reflection phenomenon. Because it reflects light back almost entirely at a very small angle, it is much brighter than ordinary objects.

Reflective material is a kind of high-tech product, which is made of glass bead or micro-prism and adopts the principle of directional regression of optical refraction. Warning signs and clothing labels made of reflective materials are hundreds of times more eye-catching than other non-reflective materials in the light.

The 0.5-meter-diameter gray retro-directional reflector, illuminated by the headlights, allows the driver to find the target within a distance of 800 meters. Reflective materials have obvious effects on traffic safety, equipment safety and personal safety, especially on the road safety of the elderly, children and the disabled, it will play a positive role in greatly reducing all kinds of accidents. Reflective coatings include road signs reflective coatings, reflective paint regression.

Traditional marking materials (hot-melt paint, cold-spray paint) not only need to allocate a lot of manual work, and easy to produce the phenomenon of paint loss, does not have reflective performance, in the fog and rain disappear on the ground, the regressive reflective coating is a kind of coating with glass beads on the surface of ordinary coating, which not only overcomes the above-mentioned defects, but also ensures the safe driving of the driver.
