Abstract

A process of making a micro glass beaded retro-reflective material comprising micro glass beads lenses, which is partially embedded in graphic matrixes of binding material. The pre-fixed rotating axes of the micro glass beads lenses lie at varying angles to the general plane of the graphic matrix to achieve uniform visibility in broad range of entrance and observation angles. The gaps between the graphic matrixes [matrices is used in textbooks, matrixes is okay] allow the permeability of the base material to resumes its function (i.e.. breathable of the fabric), maintaining the flexibility (i.e.. softness and rigiditv of the fabric), and the color of the base materials.
