Claim Text:
1. A method to apply retro-reflective material on elastic materials and fabrics, by which it is possible to manufacture retro-reflective products that do not suffer from deterioration, cracking or breaking of the applied retro-reflective material when stretched, and that allows, at the same time, to fully retain the properties, color and shape of the elastic material or fabric upon which the procedure was conducted, which comprises the following steps: a) stretching the elastic material to between 5.0 and 50.0% of the elastic material's total expansion potential while thermally applying the retro-reflective material at a temperature of 110.0 to 215.0° C., and a pressure of 1.020 to 6.021 kg/cm b) newly stretching the product of step (a) to between 0.2 and 40.0% of the product's total expansion potential for smoothing and fixing of the product, at a temperature of 50.0 to 165.0° C., and a pressure of 0.0112 to 0.5602 kg/cm
