HIGH-INTENSITY REFLECTIVE MATERIALS FOR SIGNS
FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTS AND EVALUATIONS WERE CONDUCTED ON HIGH-INTENSITY AND ENGINEERING GRADE MATERIALS (SCOTCHLITE), AND WERE COMPARED IN REGARD TO REFLECTIVITY, DURABILITY, AND COST. THE HIGH-INTENSITY TYPE MATERIALS WERE FOUND TO HAVE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS IN COMPARISON TO ENGINEERING GRADE MATERIALS. THE MATERIAL SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCES SIGN LEGIBILITY UNDER LOW-BEAM ILLUMINATION AND ACCELERATED WEATHERING TESTS SHOWED SUPERIOR DURABILITY.
