Reflective Textile Sprays

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Life Paint Temporarily Renders Any Surface Glowing for Night Safety

— January 15, 2016 — Art & Design
The Life Paint aerosol textile spray is an innovative product that temporarily renders any surface reflective. This ideal for riding, running or doing virtually anything in the dark when having a reflective wearable is ideal in keeping the wearer safe.

Performing any activity during the nighttime requires added attention to being safely seen as a form of protection from on-coming vehicles or to even prevent getting lost. The Life Paint is a convenient product to have on-hand that turns virtually any object into a reflective surface. The illuminating silver paint is made from water-based materials so it can be easily be applied to shoes, coats, sweaters, hats or vests instantly. Because the paint is water-based it can be easily removed from the item simply by running it through the wash.
Trend Themes
1. Reflective Textile Sprays - A growing trend for safety-conscious nighttime activities that has potential for utilization in outdoor sporting and fashion industries.
2. Temporary Reflective Coatings - Reflective coatings are becoming more common as a safety feature on clothing, bicycles, helmets, and other outdoor athletic equipment.
3. Water-based Materials for Safety Paints - Advances in water-based materials are driving innovations in the safety paint industry, making reflective clothing and equipment more affordable and accessible to a wider audience.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Sporting Goods - Reflective sprays and coatings present a new opportunity for companies that deal in outdoor athletic equipment to differentiate themselves and cater to customers' safety needs.
2. Fashion Apparel - The prospect of clothing items that can be made reflective as a safety feature has huge potential for new form factors and designs which could appeal to customers conscious of visibility in low-light conditions.
3. Automotive Safety - Reflective coatings could also present a disruptive innovation in the automotive safety industry, where nighttime visibility is a critical concern and reflective coatings have traditionally been relegated to signs and road markings.
