The principle of 3M reflective material

The principle of 3M reflective material The 3M reflective material products are around our life, you can find them everywhere in the poor lighting environment, such as reflective raincoats, safety vests, reflective shoes, reflective helmets, etc.  All of them show high brighter visibility than their surroundings, do you know why it is so eye-catching in the poor light situation? I will show you the principle of 3M reflective material in the following. 3M reflective material is based on the principle of light retroreflection. In order to ensure the reflected light can reflect in the same direction as the incident light, 3M reflective material makes use of the (miro glass beads)/(miro prism) to control the path of reflected light.  Miro glass beads Miro prism Miro glass beads and miro prism on the surface of reflective material can collect the incident lights and refect them into the same direction, even the angle of incident light has a big change so that the 3M reflective mate...

How to clean reflective material?

 How to clean reflective material? Actually, I don't suggest you wash the reflective material frequently, it will make some miro glass beads fall off during the washing process, then weak the reflective effect of the material, thus you need to reduce the washing times for your reflective product. If your reflective material is dirty, please don't wash the reflective material by water directly, I will teach you how to clean the reflective material in the following.  PS: If only a little dirty on the reflective material, just wipe it with a soft cloth. When it really needs to be cleaned, you can follow the next way to clean the reflective material. Preparations: A neutral detergent and cold water (temperature is lower than 30 degrees), soft cloth. Steps to clean the reflective material: 1. Put the neutral detergent into the cold water 2. Touch the mixed water with a soft cloth 3. Wipe the reflective material 4. After the reflective material is cleaned, it can be dried in th...

How does reflective material works?

 How does reflective material works? Reflective materials are applied in our surroundings, you can see reflective material from the highway signs, road signs, construction zone, and construction work clothing, traffic police clothing, even display on the bike, truck body, graphic on the garment, helmet or shoes. They are very eye-catching, have high brightness at night, but how does it work?  The principle of reflective material is to collect the surrounding light by multi retro reflection, then reflect all collected light into the same direction with original lighting by stronger lighting form than before, to achieve the high visibility of the reflective material. In order to achieve the whole reflective effect, the miro glass beads are used on the surface of reflective material, to finish the multi retro reflection.  The basic principle of reflection Miro glass beads When miro glass beads are coated on the surface, and more than half of beads are inserted into the kinds...
