Reflective paint and reflective film is using the principle of optical reflection effect, have the effect of increase visibility at night and warnings, but both in form and use quite different.
1. The form is different. Reflective paint is a kind of liquid, by spraying or brush after the surface dry form reflective coating; Reflective film is a kind of thinner with reflective effect of film thickness, the need to stick to surfaces by means of paste.
2. Use range is different. Reflective paint can be widely used in all kinds of surface, such as roads, buildings, transport facilities, etc. Reflective film is mainly used for flat surface, such as road signs, traffic signs, body advertising, etc., do not apply to the character of complex surface. 3. The reflective mechanism is different. Reflective paint containing reflective glass beads, relying on the beads reflect light reflective effect; Reflective film top contains special specular and scattering layer, reflective depend on the total internal reflection and light scattering.
4. The effect of the different. The effect of the reflective paint more natural soft, rich colors; The effect of the reflective film is hale and hearty, the main present silvery white. The effect of the reflective paint more stereo full, on the vision more clearly.
5. Different service life. High quality reflective paint can use 5 to 10 years; High-performance reflective film can use 7 to 12 years. Reflective film are greatly influenced by the environment, change cycle is shorter than the reflective paint.
6. The price is different. Is lower the price of the reflective paint more reflective film, especially suitable for large area is used. Reflective film price is higher, more suitable for the local demands high performance applications.
So, in general, reflective paint and reflective film although have reflective warning role, but in the application form, performance, and there is bigger difference of usage scenarios, etc. Can choose to use according to the specific needs, in order to achieve the best effect
