APPLICATION OF RETROREFLECTIVE TAPES TO GARMENTS

摘要

Techniques for adhering metal backed cube corner Retroreflective tapes to a variety of fabric types, such as Gortex , by applying a thermoset adhesive to the back of the tape at temperatures below the activation temperature (e.g., at about the melt temperature), and then subsequently applying the tape to the garment at temperatures above the adhesive activation temperature. This permits adhesive bonding to both the fabric and the tape at the same time, which in turn provides improved performance through numerous wash and wear cycles.
