TO BE SEEN, YOU MUST SHOW YOURSELF
VISIBLE AT ALL TIMES
Do you have a question?
What level of visibility?
The standard determines 3 classifications of clothing:
- Type A - daytime visibility: the garment is exclusively made of fluorescent material
- Type B - visibility in darkness: the garment has retroreflective elements
- B1: freely suspended
- B2: at the level of the limbs (legs or arms)
- B3: at the level of the torso or the torso and limbs
- Type AB - visibility in day, twilight, and darkness: the garment combines retroreflective and fluorescent materials (note: these are not high visibility clothing certified EN 20471)
What is meant by retroreflective?
It is a precise phenomenon that is used to designate the reflection of light from a surface back to its source.
How to produce this phenomenon?
The microbead film allows for effective light reflection after adding glass microbeads into an acrylic resin.
The resulting mixture is then applied to the metallic mirror.
Each microbead has an important action as it acts like a 90° mirror.
The light rays are reflected back to the road user who becomes aware of them even in complete darkness.
