Changing demographics also play into the need for improved signage. Older drivers have slower response times and decreased visual acuity at night. Signs made of 3M� Diamond Grade� DG� Prismatic Reflective sheeting provide the level of luminance needed by older drivers
Diverse vehicle sizes � from cars to SUVs to semi-tractors � create vastly different observation angles. Signs made of 3M� Diamond Grade� DG� Prismatic Reflective sheeting accommodates drivers of large vehicles
The product is constructed by laminating layers of material with minimal use of solvents or emissions. The manufacturing process for prismatic sheeting is also much kinder on the environment than for glass beaded reflective sheeting. Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions are reduced by 97%, energy consumption by 77% and solid waste by 46% when compared to glass beaded sheeting manufacture
3M� Diamond Grade� DG� Prismatic Reflective sheeting may eliminate the need for external sign illumination (for example: on overhead guide signs)
Fluorescent colours for improved visibility in daytime, twilight and inclement weather. Typical applications: school zones, high risk areas, railway crossings, speed limit zones and construction workzones
The long service life minimizes sign replacement and disposal costs
