TECHNOLOGY There are two major types of retroreflective materials available on the market today – In a glass bead system (Diagram 1), light strikes the back surface of the bead and is returned to its source. In contrast, light strikes each of the three surfaces of the Reflexite microprism (Diagram 2) in turn, before returning to its source. Because the microprism provides more reflective surface area than a glass bead, microprisms reflect up to 250 percent more light than glass beads.
With more than 35 years of research and development efforts behind us, Reflexite’s technology is continuing to bring new standards of brightness, performance, and quality to the reflective products industry. |
