Reflective materials
Most reflection materials were used for security reasons such as road signs or clothes for road crews at night. Normally, these reflections were merely white color in appearance. The reflected light of MARUJIN Co., Ltd.'s original reflection material LIGHT FORCE is rainbow-colored.
Due to its high fashinability and functionality, LIGHT FORCE was used for uniforms of the track team and women's volleyball team for the Athens Olympics 2004. (Mizuno Corporation) LIGHT FORCE is also used for children's clothes of UNIQLO and the processed yarn is woven in the fabric of school uniforms and other uniforms. It enjoys popularity because it is effective for preventing traffic accidents at night.
The reflection intensity of colored materials was much lower than that of the white material before. MARUJIN Co., Ltd.'s technology of the high-intensity color reflection material is utilized in LIGHT FORCE. The metallic compound (reflection layer) is overlapped on the polyester film and the colorless transparent fine glass bead lens is applied on it. Because of the transparent metallic compound layer, the color reflection and rainbow-colored reflection of the high reflection intensity became available.
(MARUJIN Co., Ltd. received the Fukui Industrial Technology Incentive Award in 2005.)
