Inspired by High Visibility Workwear, Paltex, a producer of high performance textiles, has introduced its 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material, a broad line of reflective products that incorporate ‘retroreflection’ technology.

According to the company, due to its design, this kind of fabric can find application in various areas, from workwear or active wear, to city-outdoor wear, shirting and jackets.

Reflective yarn

In the example shown, using 3M Scotchlite reflective yarn in a plain weave structure, creates a Madras look with a  glass-beads reflection, as light shines on to the surface of the fabric.

With the combinations of fluorescent yarns, midnight Navy offers a subtle look with light reflection effect, looking “fascinating in the dark”, Paltex says.

Products with the reflective yarn are available through 3M innovation company or Paltex’ global network of manufacturers of converted products.
