Type 2 (Super Engineer Grade) – Highway Signage, Construction Zone Devices, Graphics and Traffic Delineators (Enclosed Lens – Glass Bead Type) ASTM D4956 Type 2 Retro Reflective Sheeting – Medium High Intensity retro-reflective sheeting is designated as “super engineer grade”. This film is double the brightness of type 1 engineer grade. Common commercial applications for this…
Type 3 High Intensity – Highway Signage, Construction Zone Devices, and Traffic Delineators Type 3 Flexible High Intensity – Reboundable applications like Traffic Cones, Zodiac Boats, Banners. (Encapsulated Lens – Glass Bead Type) ASTM D4956 Type 3 Retro Reflective Sheeting – A high-intensity glass bead reflective film used for permanent highway signage, construction zone devices, bollards,…
Type 4 (High Intensity Prismatic) – Highway Signage, Construction Zone devices, and Traffic Delineators Type 4 Sheeting —A high intensity prismatic retro-reflective sheeting. This sheeting is an Unmetallized Microprismatic retro-reflective element (also known as Air Backed) material. This means that the prisms in the film are not given a mirror finish on the back. Instead,…
Type 5 (Metallized Micro Prismatic) – Traffic Delineators and Channelizer Retro Reflective Tape (Enclosed Lens Prismatic) Type 5 Retro Reflective Prismatic Film – A super-high intensity prismatic retro reflective sheeting and the brightest of all retro reflective films. This film is a metallized micro-prismatic retro-reflective element material, and is commonly used for traffic delineators, channelizers,…
Type 6 – Retro Reflective Sheeting with No Adhesive for Temporary Roll Up Signs, Warning Signs, Traffic Cone Collars, and Post Bands Type 6 Retro Reflective Sheeting – A flexible elastomeric high-intensity prismatic retro-reflective sheeting without adhesive. This sheeting is typically a PVC vinyl based micro-prismatic reflective material. It is made so it can be rolled…
Type 7 – Highway Traffic Signs, Construction Zone Devices, and Traffic Delineators (Discontinued – replaced by Type 8 & 11 sheeting for signs and Type 5 sheeting for zone devices and delineators) Type 7 Reflective Sheeting – An ultra high intensity prismatic retro-reflective sheeting having the best retro-reflectivity characteristics at LONG and medium road distances. (brightest…
Type 8 – Highway Signage, Construction Zone Devices, and Traffic Delineators (more commonly used sheeting than type 7) Type 8 Retro Reflective Sheeting – Super high intensity prismatic retro-reflective sheeting having the highest retro-reflectivity characteristics (along with Type 7) at LONG and medium road distances. (see RA values of Table 2 at 0.1° and 0.2° observation…
Type 9 – Wide Observation Angle Prismatic Sheeting – Highway Signage and Other Uses where wider observation angles are required. Type 9 Retro Reflective Sheeting – Very-high-intensity retro-reflective material having the highest retro-reflectivity characteristics at SHORT road distances as determined by the RA values of Table 3 at 1° observation angle. This sheeting is normally an…
Type 10 – Highway Signage, Construction Zone devices, and Traffic Delineators (Discontinued – replaced by Type 8 & 11 sheeting for signs and Type 5 sheeting for zone devices and delineators) Type 10 Retro Reflective Sheeting – An ultra high intensity reflective material having the highest retro-reflective characteristics at medium road distances as determined by the…
Type 11 – Super High All Observation Angle Efficiency Highway Signage – Overhead Signs Type 11 retro reflective sheeting is manufactured as an unmetallized cube corner micro-prismatic air backed retro-reflective material. This super-high efficiency sheeting is designed to perform best at both medium and short sight distances. This and its wide angle of view-ability makes…
