General product information

PERICOAT REFLEX PEARL consists of small glass beads which are used for the production of reflective prints and coatings.

With the special products PERICOAT REFLEX PEARL, small glass pearls, and PERICOAT REFLEX BASE, a polymer compound, reflecting effects can be produced. The products can be used in textile printing for reflex prints but also in coating for creating fashionable highlights or safety-related details. It is possible to print reflecting marks on jackets, bags, rucksacks, sports clothes and workwear. This way, students or joggers can be seen better in the beam of headlights at dusk or at night. Reflecting textiles are also used in the field of Protech for improving the visibility and safety on safety vests, high-visibility clothing, PPE, or on police, fire department or Red Cross uniforms.

If reflecting printings or coatings which are created with PERICOAT REFLEX PEARL are lit by headlights in the dark, the embedded micro glass beads reflect the light towards the direction of the incoming light. The printings or coatings shine brightly and are highly visible. This helps to improve traffic safety significantly.

For the creation of colored reflex effects PERICOLOR pigments can be added to the printing or coating pastes.

Special properties

PERICOAT REFLEX PEARL is used in combination with PERICOAT REFLEX BASE for reflective prints and coatings.

The micro glass beads contained in PERICOAT REFLEX PEARL reflect rays of light. The diameter of the glass pearls is about 60 μm. For the production of reflecting printings and coatings PERICOAT REFLEX PEARL is mixed with the basic compound PERICOAT REFLEX BASE. PERICOAT REFLEX BASE is a polymer compound which is self-crosslinking at 150 °C. The product forms soft and flexible films. After crosslinking the prints or coatings show a good resistance to washing.
