Retro-reflective textiles are increasingly used in designing safety apparel for workers, cyclists, bikers, pedestrians, and others. Retro-reflective fabrics use the retro-reflectivity principle, which improves the perception of the eyes to see objects in low light when illuminated by a light source. Retro-reflection happens when light rays are reflected in the same direction from which they are originated. Retro-reflective fabrics are witnessing strong demand across various end-use industries. In the marine industry, retro-reflective textiles are used to design life jackets and personal flotation devices (PFDs). They are also utilized in lifeboats and inflatable life rafts that are carried for emergency evacuation in a disaster.
