AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional reflective yarns face issues with glass microspheres falling off during weaving, damaging knitting machines and causing color unevenness due to silver exposure on side surfaces, and are difficult to produce in small quantities.

Method used

A reflective yarn structure with a substrate layer, glass microspheres adhered via an adhesive layer, and a covering layer made of resin that encases the glass microspheres, preventing them from falling and ensuring color uniformity across surfaces.

Benefits of technology

Prevents glass microspheres from falling off, maintains reflective function, and allows production in small quantities without needing colored reflective films, addressing issues of damage and color inconsistency.

Abstract

To provide a reflective yarn that prevents glass microspheres from falling off.SOLUTION: A reflective yarn is a laminate formed by laminating a substrate layer, a plurality of glass microspheres, and at least one adhesion layer. The plurality of glass microspheres are provided at least on one surface of the reflective yarn. A coating layer made of resin has light permeability, coats the reflective yarn, and covers the glass microspheres. The glass microspheres of the reflective yarn are protected by the coating layer so as not to fall off from the reflective yarn.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9
