High-visibility fabric and high-visibility clothing made using the high-visibility fabric
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.
1. 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.
2. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 ,
wherein the height is less than or equal to 10 μm.
3. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pre-colored fabric has a waterproof resin film on one surface.
4. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin contains flame retardant chemicals.
5. High-visibility clothing that is at least partially made using the high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 .
6. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 ,
wherein the height is less than or equal to 2 μm.
7. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the high-visibility fabric is flame retardant.
8. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin contains pigment having no fluorescence.
9. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the pre-colored fabric includes at least one material selected from the group consisting of: polyester, nylon, aramid, acrylic, modacrylic, polyurethane, acetate, rayon, polylactate, polyimide, polyphenylene sulfide, fluorine, cotton, linen, silk, and wool.
10. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the pre-colored fabric is colored before an application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin using a dye having fluorescence.
11. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein a luminance factor of the pre-colored fabric before an application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin meets requirement 5.1 of ISO 20471:2013.
12. 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.
13. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein chromaticity coordinates of the pre-colored fabric before an application of the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin do not meet requirement 5.1 of ISO 20471:2013.
14. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the pre-colored fabric including the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin has air permeability.
15. The high-visibility fabric according to claim 1 , wherein a composite color of the pre-colored fabric and the fluorescent-pigment-containing resin meets requirements 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 20471:2013.
16. 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.
17. 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.
