High Glossy Reflection PVC Reflective Tape for Sewing Safety Clothing

Product Description

                        High Glossy Reflection PVC Reflective Tape For Sewing Safety Clothing 
High Gloss Reflective Tape
 
TID™ Reflective Material High Gloss Reflective Tape are designed for use on safety garments and when properly used, help enhance the visibility of the wearer in nighttime or low-light conditions when illuminated by headlights. TID ^™ Reflective Material High Gloss reflective Tape consist of highly retroreflective microprisms formed on flexible, glossy and UV-stabilized polymeric film. A flexible vinyl film sealed on the backside of the reflective sheeting encapsulates the microprisms and protects the reflective product from dirt and moisture penetration.

Color Specifications
The initial color for TID^™ Reflective MaterialHigh Gloss reflective Tape (when measured with white backing) as measured in accordance with ASTM E1164-09a (45/0 or 0/45 geometry, illuminant D65, 2° standard observer) are within the color boxes defined below:
 

WhiteY(%) ~ 46X0.3030.3680.3400.274

                           Y0.2870.3530.3800.316

Application Instructions
Whenever two or more pieces of TID ^™ reflective material are used together on a single surface or as a set, they should be matched to ensure uniform color and reflectivity. All safety garments should be constructed in accordance with ANSI/ISEA 107 or other prevailing standard.
 
Sewing to Fabrics: Sew in place with no more than 8 stitches per inch (2.54 cm), and not less than 1/8" (3 mm) from the edge of the material. Thread recommendation: 100% polyester. To reduce sticking, apply a non-stick material (e.g., silicone or nylon) to the bottom of the presser foot. Sewing channels along the edge are provided on High Gloss reflective Tape to protect against water penetration. Sew down the center of the 1/4" wide sewing channels.




Welding to Fabrics: TID^™ Reflective MaterialHigh Gloss reflective Tape are composed primarily of vinyl materials and will weld suitably to most PVC films with any of the following methods: radio frequency (RF), high frequency (HF), dielectric or ultrasonic. Adhesion to specific films will vary with the lubricants, pigments, plasticizers and fillers used to make the PVC film. It is important to test weld strength with each new lot and new vendor.

RF Sealing: Radio Frequency is a widely used method of sealing vinyl films. It has the advantage of handling patches and tapes using a step-and repeat process.
Screen Printing: All inks should be continuously tested to ensure acceptable adhesion in the event of changes occurring in the manufacturing process or composition of the ink. Prior to printing, wiping the surface with a soft cloth lightly dampened with alcohol may help prevent ink adhesion failure.

Care and Maintenance Instructions
Important: Test each application according to appropriate care instructions required for the finished product. Actual life of TID ^™ reflective material high gloss products depends on cleaning methods and wear conditions. Care label recommendations

Storage and Shelf Life
In order to preserve performance, store in a cool, dry area and use within two years after date of receipt. Store rolls in original shipping cartons. Return partially used rolls to the carton or suspend horizontally through the core. Cut pieces should be stored flat.
