3 kinds of the brightest light-reflective fabrics

1. Classic fabric with grey reflection

The classic reflective fabric has pale-grey color in the daylight; it flashes immediately in any light and gives the snow-white reflection back to its source. You have seen this effect on the uniforms of policemen, firefighters, MES officers, and road service workers.

Pale-grey fabric with the classic reflective properties is accepted as a standard one for many uniforms because the efficient reflection is possible at an angle of more than 45 degrees.  If you wear clothes with reflective elements, you will be easy to notice by a road, near a crosswalk, or on a sidewalk.

 
 
The reflectivity index of  classic reflective fabric  is 425 Cd. It is the most efficient safety option:
  1. Fabric flashes from more than 150-200 meters distance;
  2. You will see the reflective effect even sideways;
  3. Provides 10 times increased visibility due to the reverse illumination;
  4. It does not need any specific environment and flashes even if the light is dim;
Classic reflective fabric is a widely-used safety standard for the increased visibility by the road, at the industrial areas, etc.,
 

2. Red fluorescent signal fabric

It has two simultaneous effects:

  1. Fluorescent effect. Red signal color is very intense in the daylight. The fabric also flashes in the sunbeams. This textile is immensely bright, so it will draw your attention.
  2. The second effect is the retroreflective one. The fabric has a light-red reflection in any light that is possible due to the special reflective coating.
 
 
The fabric is the best option for sewing reflective clothes with the increased day- and nighttime visibility. You can use it for the reflective let-in pieces or a whole item. 100 % polyester. 
 

3. Glow in the dark fabric

Our list includes three kinds of fabric with different characteristics. Light-accumulative fabric, unlike the first and the second textiles, does not need any light effect for glowing. It glows in the dark or half-light.

This textile charges from the daylight and then glows in the dark on its own, without any illumination. The light-accumulative effect works every day. First, the fabric accumulates light and then glows in the dark without any illumination. We will attach a photo to show how does it look.

 

Luminous fabric is 100 % polyester-based. It is very soft and perfectly fits for the textile light-accumulative items as well as for the reflective elements sewed in clothes.

The best option is to buy luminous fabric for testing its accumulative properties and making a test item.

Combining fabrics in one item is a good and creative idea that makes you more visible in any light and in the dark due to the self-glowing effect.
