The present invention relates to surfaces used to reflect light, and particularly to highly light reflectant surfaces that provide even diffusion of light for the purpose of maximizing light efficiency and/or uniformity in a luminaire. By employing an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) comprising a microstructure of polymeric nodes and fibrils, the material of the present invention demonstrates exceptional diffuse reflectivity across a wide spectrum of visible light. Additionally, the material of the present invention provides many properties that have been previously unavailable in highly diffuse reflective material, including a high degree of malleability, moldability and flexibility, and effective reflectivity even at relatively thin cross sections.

La présente invention se rapporte à des surfaces utilisées pour réfléchir la lumière et notamment à des surfaces à réflexion lumineuse élevée qui diffusent uniformément la lumière en vue de maximiser le rendement lumineux et/ou l'uniformité de la lumière d'un luminaire. En utilisant un polytétrafluoroéthylène expansé (PTFE) comprenant une microstructure de noeuds polymères et de fibrilles, le matériau de la présente invention présente un pouvoir réfléchissant diffus exceptionnel dans un large spectre de lumière visible. De plus, ce matériau possède de nombreuses propriétés que ne possédaient pas les matériaux à haute réflexion diffuse, telles qu'un haut degré de malléabilité, d'aptitude au moulage et de flexibilité, et une réflectivité efficace même au niveau de sections transversales relativement minces.
