Abstract
A high-visibility fabric according to the present invention is a fabric that is colored and includes, on at least one surface, a colored part that is colored by an application of a fluorescent-pigment-containing resin. The fluorescent-pigment-containing resin is applied to at least an entire outer surface of the colored part, and the colored part has a color that meets requirements of “5.1 Color performance requirements of new material” and “5.2 Color after Xenon test” of ISO 20471:2013.
Claims17
A high-visibility fabric comprising:
- a pre-colored fabric;
- and
- a fluorescent-pigment-containing resin on at least one surface of the pre-colored fabric, wherein
- the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin has a height of less than 20 μm,
- a part of the high-visibility fabric including the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin meets requirements 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 20471:2013, and
- a luminance factor of the pre-colored fabric before an application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin is higher than a luminance factor of the part of the high-visibility fabric including the fluorescent pigment-containing resin.
A high-visibility fabric comprising:
- a pre-colored fabric;
- and
- a fluorescent-pigment-containing resin on at least one surface of the pre-colored fabric, wherein
- the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin has a height of less than 20 μm,
- a part of the high-visibility fabric including the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin meets requirements 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 20471:2013, and
- a luminance factor of the pre-colored fabric before an application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin exceeds a lower limit of a luminance factor as specified in require 5.1 ISO 20471:2013 by 0.05 or more.
A method of manufacturing a high-visibility fabric which includes a pre-colored fabric and a fluorescent-pigment-containing resin on at least one surface of the pre-colored fabric, the method comprising:
- applying the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin to the at least one surface of the pre-colored fabric, a part of the high-visibility fabric including the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin meeting requirements 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 20471:2013, and the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin having a height of less than 20 μm,
- wherein a luminance factor of the pre-colored fabric before the application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin is higher than a luminance factor of the part of the high-visibility fabric including the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin.
A method of manufacturing a high-visibility fabric which includes a pre-colored fabric and a fluorescent-pigment-containing resin on at least one surface of the pre-colored fabric, the method comprising:
- applying the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin to the at least one surface of the pre-colored fabric, a part of the high-visibility fabric including the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin meeting requirements 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 20471:2013, and the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin having a height of less than 20 μm,
- wherein a luminance factor of the pre-colored fabric before the application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin exceeds a lower limit of a luminance factor as specified in requirement 5.1 of ISO 20471:2013 by 0.05 or more.
