Whether it’s workwear, sportswear, or trendy items, reflective heat transfer vinyl is playing an increasingly important role. It enhances nighttime visibility while giving clothing a unique design language.
As a manufacturer with nearly 20 years of experience in the reflective materials industry, YGM clearly divides its reflective heat transfer vinyl product line into three tiers: high-end, mid-range, and entry-level. YGM’s three grades of Reflective Heat Transfer Vinyl offer different levels of reflectivity, washability, and special functions, precisely covering various application scenarios from industrial workwear and everyday safety clothing to short-term activity apparel.
I. High-End Series | Industrial Washability, Long-Lasting Durability
YGM’s representative high-end reflective heat transfer vinyl products include D001-GS (50), D001-GSS (50), and D001-H-GS (50). These are specifically developed for workwear and high-visibility safety clothing requiring repeated industrial washing, meeting stringent workwear standards.
- D001-GS (50): Reflectivity > 550 CPL, PES base; withstands 75 washes at 60℃ (ISO6330), 50 washes at 75℃ (ISO15797), and 30 dry cleanings (ISO3175), suitable for long-term workwear requiring frequent industrial cleaning.
- D001-GSS (50) is a segmented reflective heat transfer vinyl with a reflectivity > 380 CPL and PES base；its washabilityis consistent with D001-GS (50). Its core feature is its diagonal segmented structure, making it one of YGM’s best-selling products. The diagonal segmented design significantly improves fabric stretch, preventing the reflective parts from cracking or curling when clothing is bent. It is a popular choice for workwear, sportswear, and trendy reflective decorations.
- D001-H-GS (50): Reflectivity> 500 CPL, PES base;capable of 75 household washes, 50 industrial washes, and 30 dry cleanings; also flame-retardant, suitable for firefighters, miners, and factory flame-retardant safety workwear.
High-end reflective heat transfer vinyl supports upgraded washability: In addition to the standard 50 industrial washing, YGM also offers ultra-high durability upgrades such as 75 or 100 industrial washing, suitable for long-cycle, high-frequency cleaning workwear projects.
II. Mid-range Series | High Cost-Performance
Mid-range reflective heat transfer vinyls balance stable reflective brightness with affordable prices, suitable for safety apparel requiring only household washing and not frequent industrial washing.
- D001: Reflectivity> 400 CPL, PES base, 25 washes at 60℃
- D001-P: Reflectivity> 400 CPL, TPU base; TPU material is softer and more elastic, suitable for elastic sports fabrics
- D101: Reflectivity> 230 CPL, standard brightness economical reflective heat transfer vinyl, suitable for low-washing-frequency safety vests and casual safety clothing
- D001-H:Reflectivity > 400 CPL, PES base, 25 washes in household water, flame-retardant properties, meeting basic flame-retardant workwear requirements
Mid-range reflective heat transfer vinyl is widely used in logistics work clothes, construction site safety clothing, student safety clothing, and other common scenarios.
III. Entry-Level Series | Basic and Lightweight Applications
The entry-level reflective heat transfer vinyl series from YGM is an introductory option for budget-conscious or low-frequency use scenarios. Representative models include WD001M-2 and WD001M.
- WD001M-2: Reflectivity > 250 CPL, PES base, 15 washes at 60℃
- WD001M: Reflectivity > 370 CPL, PESbase, 15 washes at 60℃
Recommended Applications:
- Safety clothing with low washability requirements
- Reflective embellishments for everyday casual wear
- Basic safety protection needs within a limited budget
Summary
YGM’s full range of reflective HTV products covers everything from low-cost basic safety apparel to high-end custom professional workwear, and all are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, ensuring reliable safety and environmental protection. No matter your industry or usage scenario, YGM provides a precisely matched reflective solution.
