Core technology: Precision in every strand

Our reflective yarns are crafted using retro-reflective glass bead technology, a method that ensures maximum light return to its source. Here’s how it works:

Structure

A silver reflective transferable film is embedded with microscopic glass beads and laminated onto a durable polyester base. This creates a dual-layer system:

Double-sided reflective Film (Recommended): Offers 360° visibility by reflecting light from both sides of the yarn.
Single-sided reflective film: Ideal for applications where unidirectional visibility suffices.

Science of retro-reflection

The glass beads act as spherical lenses, focusing incoming light (from headlights, flashlights, etc.) and reflecting it directly back to the observer. This ensures exceptional brightness even in low-light conditions, making wearers instantly noticeable.

Material integrity

The polyester film provides a waterproof, UV-resistant, and abrasion-proof foundation, ensuring the yarn withstands harsh environments without fading or degrading.

Reflective yarn and reflective thread

Both reflective yarn and silk offer the benefits of enhanced safety, decorative appeal, and unique design elements. However, their manufacturing processes and typical applications differ.

Reflective yarn features glass beads embedded in a polymer film, typically wrapped around a core yarn such as polyester. This construction makes it exceptionally durable and suitable for a variety of textile applications.

Reflective thread typically has the reflective yarn woven directly into the silk fabric, resulting in a more subtle, fuller reflective effect. This makes it better suited for applications that require a softer feel and drape.

Why choose reflective yarn? Key advantages

Unmatched safety performance

Hi vis yarn transforms ordinary fabrics into high-visibility safety gear. Whether used on construction sites, cycling jackets, or children’s backpacks, it provides a critical warning signal in darkness or fog, reducing accident risks by up to 85% (based on industry studies).

Durability meets flexibility

Weatherproof: Resistant to rain, humidity, and temperature extremes.
Longevity: Retains reflectivity after repeated washing and mechanical stress.
Adaptability: Compatible with sewing machines, looms, and embroidery tools, enabling seamless integration into textiles, knitwear, or accessories.

Aesthetic versatility

Beyond safety, our yarn adds a sleek, modern touch to designs. Available in customizable widths and finishes, it complements both utilitarian workwear and avant-garde fashion collections.

Cost-effective safety

By integrating high-visibility yarn during production, brands can avoid the need for bulky external reflectors, thereby reducing material costs while enhancing user comfort.
