Retro-Reflective Materials
Retro-reflective material is made using tiny glass beads or microprismatic which reflect light directly back toward its source, from a much wider angle than reflective material. Retro-reflective materials can be incorporated into traffic control signs, clothing, helmets, bike equipment, backpacks or personal safety items .A typical example of Retro-reflectivity is seen when the light from automobile headlights are redirected to the drivers eyes from traffic signs at night.
