Reflective Fabric

Reflective fabric, I believe everyone will not be unfamiliar. In daily life, it can be found in reflective jackets, reflective rain gear, reflective raincoats, reflective sportswear, reflective backpacks, reflective gloves, reflective shoes and hats, etc.

The principle of reflective fabric

The reflective fabric itself does not emit light, and it can rely on reflective materials with many glass beads, such as reflective strips and reflective tapes. Careful observation, it is not difficult to find that there are countless dense small particles above the reflective tape, which will fall off when scratched with a fingernail. These tiny particles are called glass beads. Glass beads are applied to the fabric, even though the reflected light is mostly returned to the light source direction in the direction of the incident light. It has a strong fabric base that, when sewn to other fabrics and backings, enhances the wearer's visibility at night or in poor visibility environments.

The advantages of reflective fabrics

Reflective fabrics are not only superior to similar products of other brands in terms of reflection, but also have outstanding aging resistance, abrasion resistance and washing resistance. The reflective fabric can be washed or dry cleaned and won't come off easily. Reflective fabrics are generally used in road traffic safety facilities, sanitation, construction sites, outdoor activities, cycling and other fields related to the safety of life and property. It can reflect the direct light from a distance back to the light-emitting place, and has excellent retro-reflection optical function no matter in day or night, thereby improving the visibility of the wearer at night or in environments with poor vision.

Cleaning of reflective fabrics

This reflective fabric also has many ways to wash, and it is easy to dry after washing. Many companies, especially for special occupations, choose this kind of fabric for company work clothes. Reflective clothing is suitable for a wide range of people. Road traffic police, night police, sanitation workers, construction site workers, the elderly and children, outdoor activities, cyclists, donkey friends, etc. are all suitable for wearing reflective safety clothing.

 

Additives for Beginners in Baking

       Delicate desserts🍥 have become a must-have for everyone's life. Eating desserts can usually stimulate the secretion of dopamine, which can bring a good mood. Many people are not only satisfied with the taste, but also willing to bake by themselves. Therefore, home baking is the future development trend.

The most important thing in baking is the recipe. To make bread🍞, you need to use baking high-gluten flour, not regular flour. High-gluten flour is used for bread, and low-gluten flour is used for cakes and cookies. All-purpose flour is made into pancakes, dumplings, noodles, and steamed buns.

So let's take a look at what additives are commonly used in baking:

①Baking powder, a white powder, can be bought in general supermarkets.

②Soda powder is also a kind of white powder. Its ingredient is sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous solution is weakly alkaline. It will start to decompose when the temperature is above 65 degrees, and carbon dioxide will be released.

③Cream of tartar, an acidic white powder, the main component is potassium tartrate. When making cakes, it is used to neutralize the alkalinity of egg🥚 whites, help eggs foam and beat, and make cakes whiter.

④Vanilla extract is a pure natural additive that increases the fragrance.

⑤Cake oil is a kind of cake bubble emulsifier, which is mostly used to make sponge cakes, and also used to make some biscuits.

⑥Yeast, pure biological leavening agent.Food grade Sodium acid pyrophosphate is the acidic component of the leavening agent commonly used in the baking industry.In the process of reproduction, the yeast will release a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, thereby achieving the effect of expanding the dough. Moreover, when the yeast is fermented, substances such as alcohol and lactic acid will be produced. These substances will generate esters with aroma at high temperature, so that the baked West Point has a unique flavor and aroma. Yeast is generally necessary to make bread.

These are the most commonly used additives in the baking process, do you know it?👆

 

 

How to Decorate a Christmas Tree with Colored Glass Microspheres

Although many people do not know what glass microspheres are, it cannot be denied that the amount of this product is used. Have we also seen the existence of glass microspheres on some decorative items?

Colored glass microspheres can also be used as the exterior decoration of artificial fruits, artificial flowers and other handicrafts, etc. Colored glass microspheres can also effectively improve the self-cleaning, anti-fouling, moisture-proof and other capabilities of roads. Glass beads for road marking can effectively improve the retro-reflection and other properties of road coatings, thereby effectively improving the safety index of drivers driving at night. With the development and progress of society, colored glass microspheres are also constantly improving and updating.

The application of glass microspheres does not stop there. In life, the application of glass microspheres can be seen everywhere. We mainly describe the role it plays in decoration, which is not inferior to other decorative materials.
