History of Reflective Material

In 1950, Chinese-American scientist Dr। Dong Qifang developed directional glass beads, and subsequently developed a series of reflective material such as reflective fabric, 1968, the United States ROWLAND brothers invented and registered micro-prism retro-reflective techniques. Reflective sheeting products 3M has pioneered the development by the United States successfully, to present only the United States, Japan, China, South Korea, a few countries able to produce. The tape has been developed long-term use, its excellent optical properties and superior socio-economic value has been widely recognized and accepted.

However, another type of reflective material that is micro-prism reflective material in China is still just the initial stage until the beginning of the twenty-first century, a few do by the Fujian Jinjiang shoe cock in the enterprise developed the micro-prism lattice in the civilian products reflective film, after several years of evolution although the quality of the product improved, but remain the most primitive mode of production batch production, the world’s production of such products, manufacturers are basically continuous implementation production. Another is the core technology research and development on the original mold is basically blank. Although there has been little development of core technology progress, but by the element, and several other manufacturers Sony has introduced a new form of products – reflective inkjet fabric, inkjet fabric reflective introduction of the reflective material has developed a new market - - the advertising market.
