Micro Prismatic Reflective Sheeting
Retroreflective vinyl, commonly referred to as reflective vinyl, is not self-luminescent. Its properties aren’t apparent in normal daylight conditions. Its glass or prismatic beads are specifically designed to reflect light back to the source making them visible at night when illuminated with artificial light, such as that from motor vehicle headlights. This reflective property is what makes road signs legible after dark without the cost of electric illumination. Reflective sign vinyl uses a variety of reflective technologies to produce different levels of shine. Two important considerations when choosing a reflective vinyl are how much light will it reflect (measured in candlepower) and how wide of an angle can it be viewed at (referred to as angularity).
How do I determine the best retroreflective sheeting for my signs?
Many traffic signs, parking signs, and safety signs have the option of reflective aluminum as a sign material. Reflective aluminum, like coated aluminum, will not chip, crack, or rust, and also adds increased visibility at night and in low light situations.
Retroreflectivity describes the efficiency of a material to redirect light back to its source, which when applied to signs, makes seeing the message easier. All regulatory traffic, traffic warning, guide signs, and object markers are required by the Federal Highway Administration to be retroreflective.
With the benefit of increased visibility, it’s good to know about the different types of retroreflective sheeting that Dingfei Reflective offers on our signs before selecting one for your needs.
There are three types of retroreflective sheeting that Dingfei Reflective uses: engineering grade, high intensity prismatic, and diamond grade. Each type of sheeting provides a different level of reflectivity and durability.
Commercial /Engineering grade retroreflective sheeting is the standard sheeting that you might find on property and parking signs. Engineering grade, or EG, sheeting can be seen from about 500 feet away.
High intensity prismatic retroreflective sheeting (HIP sheeting), is commonly used on official traffic signs, just like the ones in your own neighborhood. HIP sheeting offers three times the reflectivity that EG does, and can be seen from about 1000 feet away.
The most reflective sheeting is diamond grade retroreflective. Diamond grade sheeting is the best choice for roadways, as it offers the highest visibility from the furthest distances. Diamond grade retroreflective sheeting also lasts the longest, making it the best investment long-term.
