Light Reflective Vinyl


What is retro-reflectivity?


Retro-reflectivity is a term used to describe how light is reflected off of a surface and return to its original source (“retro”-reflector). Traffic Sign Sheeting materials now use technology with small glass beads or prismatic reflectors that allow light from vehicle headlights to be reflected by to the vehicle and the driver’s eyes, thus making the Sign appear more bright and visible to the driver.


For retro-reflectivity to work properly, there needs to be a light source (vehicle headlights), a target (traffic sign), and a receptor (driver’s eyes).

Worldwide, the amount of traffic is still growing every year. To keep all this traffic on the right track and to indicate roadworks, an incredible amount of traffic signs is required. Traffic signs or road signs provide valuable information to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. They indicate the rules in traffic, are helpful in making the roads safer and guide traffic in the right direction. All sorts of signs detailing one-way streets, speed limits, no entry points and many other symbols often use reflective materials to remain visible in the dark.
