What is Iridescent Rainbow Reflective Fabric?
Rainbow Reflective fabric (also called neon or iridescent reflective fabric) is composed of micro glass beads, adhesives and the base fabric. The micro glass bead is able to reflect light when an incoming light beam passes through its surface. Using special coating technology, the rainbow reflective fabric is able to reflect and transform into a striking multi-color reflective effect when illuminated by light sources such as a car headlight. It appears black in daylight, and reflect light in aurora rainbow color at night. The big contrast inspires designers to widely incorporate it into fashion wear, casual wear, backpacks, shoes etc.

Reflect rainbow under light
Combining luminous with reflective is definitely a wonderful tech that attracted numerous fashion designers. During the day, the fabric made with phosphorescent compound is charged by exposing to any light source such as sunlight or a flashlight. Then it quickly absorbs and stores the light, then slowly releases the light up to 8 hours in the dark. The fabric is milky white in daytime, and when it becomes darker, it will emit green light, the darker the greener. However, when light shines on it, it will reflect in aurora rainbow spectrum that amazed and impressed people around.

Rainbow Reflective Heat Transfer Vinyl
Highlight your brand,
With rainbow spectrum
Rainbow Reflective heat transfer vinyl (Also called holographic or iridescent HTV) is composed of micro glass beads, coating adhesives and hot melt adhesives. It is normally used for graphic designs such as logos, letters or patterns by plotter or laser cutting to get increased brand awareness.The protection liner can be changed to self-adhesives ones. Sticky liner helps to fasten the logos/letters onto the liner which makes the cutting and weeding process easier.
Rainbow Reflective Tape
Full-width rainbow reflective fabric or heat transfer vinyl can be cut into specific width to sew or iron on clothing, or be made into reflective ribbon/webbing and sew on clothing/backpacks etc.
Rainbow Reflective Piping
We can also make rainbow reflective piping to be used in clothing, backpacks, caps, shoes etc. to outline and enhance the wearers’ visibility at nighttime. The width of the cotton tread and reflective fabric can be customized as per requested.
Why do we wear rainbow reflective clothes at night?
Rainbow reflective clothes or fabrics help the designers to combine fashion with safety. It appears in modest black at daylight, and when at night illuminated by light, it transforms into a striking multi-color rainbow pattern, which enables the wearers to be an eye-catcher at night.
At meanwhile, the incredible reflective capability helps other road users such as car drivers to identify the wearers’ position, giving them extra time to react and maneuver appropriately to avoid possible accident.
