The fundamentals and applications of prismatic reflective sheeting

Prismatic reflective sheeting belongs to the reflective sheeting.

In contrast, it can be divided into two categories: glass bead type reflective film and prismatic type reflective film according to the classification of reflective sheeting.

So now, we just comprehend some basic knowledge and applications of the prismatic reflective film.

Prismatic reflective sheeting is a reflective material that is made based on the principle of refraction and total reflection of a cube.

And every cubic cone’s surface degree of smoothness is over 5nm, and the angle error is less than 0.01 arc seconds.

Besides, there are 10,000 prisms distributed in every square centimeter.

Under this circumstances, we can say it a reflective product that combines ultra-precision technology and craftsmanship.

Compared with the glass bead reflective film, it has great reflection effects, like great reflective function at long distances, and is easy to find.

Because of these traits, it is widely used in highway traffic signs.

Among the variety of reflective sheeting, the PC prismatic reflective film belongs to the national standard second-class reflective grade.

Frankly speaking, its specifications are 1.22*45.7 meters, and the thickness is between 0.38 mm and 0.4 mm.

There are many colors of it : white, blue, red, yellow, and so on.

With these unique features, it is mainly used on highways, main urban roads, rural roads, etc.

What are the functions of prismatic reflective sheeting?

1. Reducing the marginal cost

From the perspective of running a company, it is not very realistic to install lighting tools on all roads.

On the one hand, the plug-in project’s expenditure is large.

On the other hand, it is different to check the problems with it at a later time.

Therefore, people will take advantage of three kinds of prismatic reflective sheeting on many highways, which will reduce the cost because of their great reflection effects.

2. Enhancing the safety of the drivers when driving at night

When driving on the roads, everyone expects a sense of security.

Generally speaking, they want to go to the destination safely.

So, whether the reflective traffic or the non-reflective ones, they all give a sense of security to the drivers.

Because a lot of information is included in the traffic signs for the purpose of warning.

For instance, the traffic signs will appear in the village, turning areas, and people will also raise awareness of dangers because of the signs.

In that case, people will change the way they drive or their approach to driving according to the traffic signs so as to reduce the possibility of accidents.

After we know its functions, the way of manufacturing will be explained next.

How to make the prismatic reflective sheeting signs?

From a professional perspective, reflective signs belong to the advertising industry, so users in need can find relevant advertising agencies to produce the products.

However, the approaches to avoiding the possibility of fading is also crucial to the producers.

Only when you know the scene it is applied in, the suitable reflective sheeting it uses, and can detect this material can you make it fade slowly.

In another aspect, it is also important to ensure the reflective sheeting’s heat and wear resistance.

In daily life, the high-quality producers have the ability to provide customized services for users.

And the primitive reflective sheeting used in the traffic signs will assist the drivers in getting a sense of security more easily.
