Glass bead technology was the first to be applied to retroreflective materials. Depending on specific application requirements, various types of reflective glass-bead tapes with different retroreflection performance grades have been developed.
Examples include Engineering Grade (Type 1), High-Intensity Grade (Type 3), and the most economical Commercial Grade.
High-intensity glass bead reflective tape meets ASTM D4956 Type 3 standards and features a honeycomb pattern. It is commonly used on traffic cones and DOT-C2 compliant transport trailers.
Engineering-grade reflective tape features a smooth, unpatterned surface, making it ideal for application on traffic barriers. HIVISSIGN offers custom engineering-grade reflective tape in red/white and yellow/black color combinations.
Commercial-grade glass bead reflective tape is the most economical type of retroreflective sheeting. It is typically used for advertising banners and decorative decals where high retroreflectivity is not required. HIVISSIGN offers printable commercial-grade reflective vinyl.
Glass microbeads have a wide range of applications; they can be processed into reflective vinyl, reflective fabric, iron-on reflective film, reflective paint, and more. Consequently, you can select the type of glass-bead reflective tape that best suits your specific application requirements.
At HIVISSIGN, we offer glass-bead reflective tapes in self-adhesive, heat-press, and sew-on varieties.
Self-adhesive reflective tape incorporating glass microspheres is widely used in road traffic safety applications, such as vehicle visibility markings, traffic cones, road barriers, helmets, and traffic signs.
Almost all iron-on reflective tapes rely on glass bead technology for their retroreflective properties. They offer excellent flexibility and can be custom-cut into various patterns.
Glass bead technology is most widely applied to fabrics. You can select specific fabric properties based on your requirements to produce sew-on reflective tapes with various characteristics—such as flame retardancy, T/C blends, elasticity, and reflective piping.
HIVISSIGN is one of the world’s most trusted suppliers of retroreflective sheeting. Our product range encompasses both glass bead and microprismatic technologies, providing customers worldwide with a complete selection of glass bead and microprismatic reflective tapes.
Furthermore, drawing on extensive industry experience, FLIGHT offers the following support for your glass bead reflective tape projects:
Please send us your bulk purchasing requirements, including glass bead tape product requirements, packaging requirements, and transportation requirements.
According to your requirements, we will make PI for you and share it with you. (PI will reflect product color, size, packaging, and logistics information). We can also send you samples for testing first.
After receiving your payment, we will arrange production and shipment.
This is a reflective tape that utilizes glass bead technology to retro-reflect light back toward the light source.
You can choose from various types of reflective glass bead tape depending on the application:
1) Self-adhesive type
2) Heat-applied (iron-on) type
3) Sew-on type
4) Flexible magnetic type
5) Coating type
Its advantages over micro-prismatic reflective tape include:
It offers superior flexibility and is more widely used in iron-on and sew-on applications, making it a crucial component of safety and protective gear.
If you are looking for a professional reflective material supplier in China as your partner, FLIGHT is your best choice. We provide retroreflective material that comply with ASTM D4956 standards, as well as custom vehicle reflective tapes according to your country’s traffic regulations
