TC Base Sewing Reflective Tape

Benefits of TC Base Sewing Reflective Tape

1. This sewing tape is composed of retro-reflective glass beads bonded to TC fabric, washing performance is at least 50 washes in 60°C according to ISO6330  home wash standard.

2. The reflective material is compliance to global high visibility standards such as ISO20471, ANSI107, etc. Providing exceptional visibility in various conditions.

3. Ideal for medium weight fabric, such as high quality reflective vests, jackets, and workwear, especially for those with high requirements for home wash performance.

4. Available in different widths, from narrow strips to wider bands, to accommodate different needs.

Why Choose TC (Polyester-Cotton) Base for Your Workwear?

Selecting the right backing material is crucial for the longevity and comfort of safety garments. While pure polyester or film backings are available, the TC (Technical Cotton) base—a sophisticated blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton—is the industry standard for high-quality professional workwear. Here’s why:

Superior Durability & Tear Resistance: The integration of cotton fibers with polyester creates a high-density weave that offers significantly better tensile strength than single-material backings. This makes TC base sewing reflective tape ideal for heavy-duty environments like construction and industrial manufacturing where garments face constant friction.

Enhanced Comfort & Breathability: Unlike 100% synthetic materials, the cotton component allows the tape to be more breathable and flexible. It has a "softer hand-feel," meaning it won't feel stiff or abrasive against the skin, which is essential for garments like high-quality reflective shirts and polo shirts.

Anti-Puckering Performance: One of the biggest challenges in garment production is fabric distortion after washing. Kachun’s TC base is pre-shrunk and engineered to expand and contract at a similar rate to most workwear fabrics. This prevents the "puckering" effect around the silver reflective stripes, maintaining a professional and crisp look even after 50+ home washes at 60°C.

Seamless Integration with Medium-Weight Fabrics: TC backing provides the perfect structural weight to complement medium-to-heavy fabrics (such as twill or canvas used in jackets and trousers). It ensures the reflective strip remains flat and securely attached without weighing down the base garment.
