传统意义的工程级反光膜在20世纪80年代引进到中国，20世纪90年代，中国境内开始陆续出现了一批生产厂家，制造这种反光膜。
Traditional engineering-grade reflective film was introduced into China in the 1980s. In the 1990s, a number of manufacturers began to appear in China to manufacture this kind of reflective film.
自从20世纪40年代以来，该材料一直被成功地用来制作交通标志。 该产品的问世，第一次在公路上，让夜间行驶的驾驶员们，可以更早地发现在他们的行驶路线前方的标牌和反光物体。由于这种材料的问世，在不同程度上，解决了以下当时一直困扰道路交通安全管理界的难题:
Since the 1940s, this material has been successfully used to make traffic signs. For the first time on the highway, drivers who drive at night can find signs and reflective objects in front of their route earlier. With the advent of this kind of material, the following problems that had been plagued the road traffic safety management industry at that time were solved to varying degrees:
1. 道路标识在夜间无法保定平面设计培训 保定室内设计培训 保定空调移机 保定太阳能维修 保定厨房排烟 雄安管道通风 进行远距离识认;
1. Road signs can not be recognized at night.
2. 主动光源消耗资源大，有些道路不具备提供电力照明的条件;
2. Active light sources consume a lot of resources, and some roads do not have the conditions to provide electric lighting.
3. 主动光源有可能干扰司机的视线，让他看到不用甚至不该看的内容;
3. Active light sources may interfere with the driver's vision, so that he can see what he should not or should not see.
