Want A Thriving Business? Focus On Fabricseal !

Reflective Fabric has a number of uses from personal to commercial and industrial settings. The sew on application is only one design method, as reflective tape is also applied to various surfaces - including metal - using powerful and long lasting adhesives. It's a resource used in everything from cars, to marking buildings and poles as well as professional workers for the sake of improving visibility.

While it's widely used, the most practical application that has turned reflective tape into a multi-billion dollar industry is in high visibility safety clothing and personal protective equipment. Application is done through sew on reflective tape as well as heat press application with adhesive films that bond to the backing material used in high visibility work wear.

Clothing can be covered in glass beads and results will happen; however, they won't be the kind most people are looking for. When light would hit these beads, it would refract and scatter but it likely wouldn't reflect- at least not in any great way. In order for this technology to be used efficiently on both clothing and vehicles, two types of reflective materials were created. These are adhesive reflective fabric and sew on reflective, each with multiple layers to gather light and reflect it. To make this technology effective, a base of PVC (which is a strong thermoplastic resin) is used and the small glass beads are embossed. They are then given multiple layers of metallic flake backing to reflect the light. This is similar to the Fabricseal found on the back of a mirror.
