Avery Dennison® Engineering Grade Beaded T-1508A Retroreflective Film Red

Description

Avery Dennison ® Engineering Grade Beaded T-1508A Retroreflective Film Red

Avery Dennison T-1000 & W-1000 Series
Beaded Engineering Grade Retroreflective
Film for permanent and temporary traffic
signage, is a high-quality, durable, enclosed
lens retroreflective material with a pressure
sensitive adhesive.

T-1000 & W-1000 Series sheeting is an
Omni-Directional beaded film. This feature
benefits agencies by providing confidence
that all signs will perform with uniform visual
reflectivity at all sign face orientations.

Features:
 Omni-Directional
 Field proven long term durability on safety devices worldwide
 Pattern free face allows for clean graphic imaging
 Economical choice for non-critical signs
 Uniform daytime and nighttime visual appearance

The American Association of State Highway Transportation
Officials (AASHTO) has recognized that some retroreflective
films are rotationally (orientation) sensitive. Because this impacts
sign luminance, AASHTO has defined a specification to measure
orientation performance. Figure C shows how the orientation
sensitivity is measured. In order for a film to be considered
rotationally insensitive, the average percent difference (shown in
Figure C) must be less than or equal to 20%

CONDITIONS
When measured for orientation sensitivity as described in
AASHTO M 268-10, all Avery Dennison sheeting, both beaded
and prismatic, pass the specification as rotationally insensitive.
Therefore, no special identification marks or other features (such
as a datum mark, or distinctive seal pattern) are required to
denote optimum orientation for sheeting. Because the user can
expect visual uniformity regardless of orientation, no costly and
cumbersome fabrication techniques are required to orient sheets,
cut sign legend or border tape during sign fabrication.
Specifying agencies and sign fabricators are cautioned that some
Retroreflective sheetings, even of the same ASTM “Type” may
not provide consistent luminance for desired night visibility if the
sheeting is not applied in the optimal, or in uniform orientation.
Agencies and fabricators should be aware of this concern and
discuss the potential effects of rotation on luminance of specific
sheetings with their material supplier before beginning installation
and/or fabrication

T-1000 & W-1000 Series meets
the current applicable daytime
and nighttime color requirements
for ASTM D4956 and EN-12899
as well as standards listed on
Page 2.
Chromaticity Coordinate Limits
Figures A & B show the four
pairs of chromaticity coordinates
from ASTM D4956 and EN12899 on the color grid.
Daytime Color
The four pairs of chromaticity
coordinates in Figure A
determine the acceptable color in
terms of the CIE 1931 Standard
Colorimetric System measured
with Standard Illuminant D65 and
CIE Publication no. 15 using CIE
Standard Illuminant D65 and CIE
45/0 geometry. Luminance factor
shall comply with table in
Figure A.
Note: The saturation limit of
green and blue may extend to the
border of the CIE chromaticity
locus for spectral colors
