Reflective Material

Product Name : Stretch Reflective Fabric

Description
Stretch Reflective Fabric is a flexible retroreflective textile developed for products that require both enhanced visibility and stretch performance. Combining a reflective surface with a stretch fabric backing, it helps improve visibility in low-light conditions while maintaining the flexibility needed for garments and textile products that move with the wearer. It is commonly used where comfort, mobility, and reflective performance are equally important.

Available in two-way or four-way stretch constructions, Stretch Reflective Fabric can be supplied in different widths, weights, and surface configurations to support a wide range of manufacturing requirements. Depending on the selected material grade, it may be converted into full-width rolls, slit rolls, cut pieces, or custom components for sewing and textile assembly.

Fu Jyi Lin provides OEM manufacturing and custom converting services for Stretch Reflective Fabric, supporting material selection, slitting, cutting, die-cutting, sewing, packaging, and project-based production. Whether you are developing a new product or sourcing for ongoing production, we work with customers to deliver materials and converting solutions that meet specific manufacturing and application requirements.

### Product Overview

Stretch Reflective Fabric is a flexible retroreflective textile designed for applications requiring both high visibility and stretch performance. By combining a retroreflective surface with a stretch textile backing, the material helps improve visibility in low-light conditions while maintaining flexibility for garments and textile products that require movement, comfort, and shape recovery.

Compared with conventional reflective fabrics, Stretch Reflective Fabric is better suited for applications involving repeated extension, curved surfaces, or close-fitting constructions. Depending on the selected material grade, it is available in different stretch constructions, surface configurations, and physical properties to accommodate various manufacturing requirements.

The material is primarily intended for sewing and textile assembly, with additional converting options available according to project specifications.

* Activewear
* Outdoor Apparel
* Cycling Apparel
* Performance Garments
* Stretch Workwear
* Footwear Components
* Bags & Backpacks
* Garment Reflective Panels
* Textile Accessories

# Performance

Stretch Reflective Fabric is designed to provide a balance between retroreflective visibility, flexibility, and durability for textile products requiring repeated movement and long-term performance.

Material performance varies according to the selected reflective construction, backing fabric, stretch ratio, garment design, processing method, and service environment. For projects requiring specific performance standards, material selection should be confirmed during sample evaluation.

### Performance Characteristics

| Performance Item | Typical Performance |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Retroreflective Performance | Approx. 380–420+ cd/(lx·m²) for common high-brightness grades |
| Stretch Construction | Available in 2-way or 4-way stretch |
| Stretch Recovery | Depends on selected material grade |
| Working Extension | Recommended according to application requirements |
| Wash Performance | Subject to selected material grade and washing conditions |
| Abrasion Resistance | Available according to project requirements |
| Flexing Resistance | Suitable for repeated garment movement |
| Dimensional Stability | Depends on backing fabric and garment construction |

Retroreflective performance should always be evaluated under the applicable test method and specified observation and entrance angles. For garments requiring repeated stretching, the material should be tested under actual working conditions to verify stretch recovery, reflective consistency, and long-term durability.
