V-REFLEX^TM Reflective Material - Retro-Reflective Fabric/Tape exceeds the minimum reflectivity requirements of EN ISO 20471, table 5 - minimum coefficient of retro-reflection in cd/lux/m² for combined performance material.

Coefficient of Retro-reflection * (R' or R_A ) cd/lux/m²

Measured on new product at +5.0° entrance and 0.2° observation angles, V-REFLEX^TM Reflective Material -  Retro-Reflective Fabric/Tape typically has retro reflective performance as below table.

A colored clothing wash program without pre-wash should be used. Follow below recommendation could maintain the duability of retro-reflective to its maxium lifespan.

Recommendation:

1. Detergent: Brand powdered household detergents should be used.
   • Refer to the detergent manufacturer's recommendations for dosage in areas of high water hardness and for various degrees of garment soiling.
2. Wash temperature range: 15°C to 60°C
   • Some items could be extended to be home-washed with a wider range of washing temperature than above.
   • Some items could be applicable to wash temperature ranging from 0°C to 90°C for those garment requiring harsher cleaning. Read the physical performance of each reflective tape for the details.
3. Max. Wash time at highest wash temperature: 12 minutes
4. Max. Program time: 50 minutes
5. Use of temperatures lower than 60°C will increase the lifetime of the reflective material.
6. Actual lifetime will be dependent upon the detergent system and list dosage level.
7. Load factor higher than 65% might lead to enhanced abrasion of the retro-reflective material

Drying Conditions

Tumble Dry: Tumble drying should be performed in a commercially available household dryer

Air Drying: Line drying is recommended where possible.

Hang-Up Drying: on line or rack

Tumble drying and tunnel/air drying are both recommended and applicable to this series of retro-reflective tape. Follow below recommendation will prolong the durability of product.

• • Using the medium dry setting.
  • Exhaust temperature should not exceed 90°C.
  • Do not overdry.

Dry Cleaning Conditions

Cleaning process should be based on a pre- and main-bath only.

For P it is recommended to only use pure perchloroethylene.

Adjust load and solvent level to give a moderate mechanical action.

• Max. solvent temperature: 30°C
• Recommended drying temperature: 48°C

Store in a cool, dry area and use within 1 year of receipt.

Rolls should be stored in their original cartons, whilst partially used rolls should be returned to their carton or suspended horizontally from the core via a rod or pipe.

Cut sheets should be stored flat.
