Disadvantages of Plastic Reflective road studs

The reflective road stud was invented in the 1980s. At first it was called cat eye reflective road stud because it looked like cat’s eye. Moreover, the inventor of the reflective road stud accidentally discovered that the light reflected by the cat’s eye could be used for illumination at night, which was the only way to create this kind of creativity. It can be said that the reflective road stud is a gift of nature to human beings.

In the continuous development and progress, human beings have also brought the gift of nature into full play. We can now see aluminum reflective road stud, glass reflective road stud, plastic reflective road stud and so on. Today, we will introduce the plastic reflective road stud.
There are two kinds of plastic reflective road studs: all plastic reflective road studs and plastic shell reflective road studs. This kind of reflective road stud also has some disadvantages. For example, the plastic reflective road stud usually has pin feet. The pin feet are not firmly fixed on the road with glue, so they are easy to be hit by cars. Moreover, the plastic reflective road studs will also be stolen by criminals and sold as waste products, so the replacement frequency will be higher, which is not conducive to saving labor and material costs. The production materials of plastic reflective road stud are not easy to dissolve in the natural environment, which will bring a lot of plastic waste and pollute the environment.
In addition, there are still aging problems of plastic reflective road stud. After three to six months of exposure to the sun and accumulation of oil on the road, the plastic reflective road stud is easy to age and lose luster, thus losing its reflective ability. Plastic reflective road studs also have some disadvantages, such as dead angle of reflection, no 360 degree light without dead angle and so on.

We should pay special attention to these problems in the production and development of reflective road studs. With the progress of science and technology, the new reflective road stud gradually overcome these shortcomings. If you want to know more, you can consult our customer service.
