Light-reflecting molded articles and methods of making the same

摘要: A light-reflecting article having an average total reflectivity of at least about 93 %, e.g., 95 for light in a 400 to 700 nanometer wavelength range comprises thermoplastic or thermoset polymer matrix, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene-based which is despersed reflective filler particles rutile titania and flame-retardant material. The material may contain particulate metal oxide synergist, antimony trioxide pentoxide, quencher brominated organic compound, bis(tribromophenoxy)-ethane. matrix be selected so that their respective refractive indices the size satisfies mathematical relationship function thereof mean freespace (vacuum) wavelenght being reflected. comprise enclosure (14) illumination source (10), one linear aperture (16) formed therein enclosing (12).
