Reflective Powders

1. Reflective powder can be applied on road markings (e.g. zebra crossings, double yellow lines, and no-parking lines) and traffic signs for light reflection at night.
2. Sandblasting reflective powder can be applied in sandblasting and shot blasting of industrial machinery, including: matte polishing of surfaces of stainless steel products, cleaning of molds, handling of tensile stress of machine parts to extend the fatigue life, cleaning and deburring of semiconductor devices and plastic tubes before tinning, shot blasting and finishing of medical equipment, textile machinery, and hardware products, cleaning and polishing of metal pipes and non-ferrous metal precision castings, and removal of burrs and residues.
3. Reflective powder can be applied in reinforcing agents, fillers, etc. As a new material, it is extensively applied in nylon, engineering plastics, medical devices, etc.
4. Reflective powder can also be applied in reflective fabrics, coatings, chemical coatings, advertising materials, reflective films, reflective fabrics, backpacks, shoes and hats, and life-saving equipment. But highly reflective powder should be used to achieve the desired effects.

Water-based silk screen printing

Reflective powder can be directly added into reflective paste and transparent paste. It can be mixed for stamping and printing.

Oil-based screen printing

1: Reflective powder can be directly added into varnishes. It can be mixed for stamping and printing.

2: It can be directly added into inks to produce reflective ink. It can be easily screen printed or brushed onto fabrics or other items.

3: First, apply one layer of stamping primer. Then, apply one layer of reflective paste, followed by drying and curing.

Depending on the dosage, weigh reflective powder and add it into cyclohexanone to prepare the paste. Then, mix it with transparent stamping paste. In the printing process, the adhesive layer should be 30-50 microns in thickness, so that reflective powder is semi-exposed on the surface to produce a reflective effect. Or, the particle size may be selected based on applications to achieve various reflective effects. Unequal particle sizes will lead to better reflective effects.

Spraying

1. First, spray the reflective primer. When the reflective primer is dry, spray the reflective topcoat. It is recommended to apply two layers of reflective primer on cement surfaces.
2. It is recommended to use a W-71 spray gun with a nozzle of C1.50mm. The spray gun pressure should be approximately 2.0kg/cm² for primer and 3.0kg/cm² for topcoat.
3. The spray gun should be kept at a distance of 18cm away from the surface and an angle of 45 degrees during construction. The paint film should be evenly thin to achieve good effects.
4. Stop construction in case of rain, fog, and snow. Otherwise, the fastness may be affected.

Reflective powder has the advantages of light weight, no toxicity, no flammability, stable performance and low thermal conductivity. It does not contain radioactive elements. It can be recycled in an unlimited manner. It is a kind of environmentally friendly material.

Reflective powder can be widely used in coatings, plastics, rubber, ink, paper, textiles, cosmetics, ornaments, handicrafts, leather, enamel, ceramics, packaging products, printing and decoration, and building materials. However, it must not be used in food.

Reflective powder can be used with transparent dyes or pigment to achieve unique and attractive color effects. If it is used with opaque pigments, the pearl luster will decline. Considering complementary colors, reflective powder must not be used with iridescence series products.

Storage conditions for reflective powder: cool, moisture-proof, ventilated, dry, sealed.
