For specific application scenarios, the downstream market for reflective materials can be divided into a planned dedicated market and a civilian market.
In the civilian market and some common engineering project scenarios, such as personal protective clothing, car license plate reflective film and ordinary reflective engineering materials, glass microbead reflective film is sufficient to meet the relevant needs.
For some key infrastructure constructions, especially road construction of various grades and urban road construction, due to driving safety considerations, the material has higher reflective performance requirements. Therefore, micro-prism reflective films with higher retroreflection coefficients are often used. At present, many domestic and foreign reflective materials companies are focusing on road traffic construction and automotive. Taking ZJDM Optics, a leading Chinese reflective material manufacturer and supplier as an example, its main products are two types: one is the license plate reflective film, and the other is the high-end micro-prism reflective film used in national key projects.
