Reflective traffic signs themselves have the ability to reflect light, which can show drivers the way, so that they will not get lost even when driving on unfamiliar roads. There are many types of reflective film for reflective traffic signs, and the types determine their respective service lives.
Qixiang is a professional traffic sign manufacturer. The traffic signs we produce have an ultra-long service life and are very cost-effective. They can be considered for permanent traffic signs and work area facilities. In the selection of key reflective film materials, we insist on using top-quality reflective film to provide road users with extremely clear and eye-catching visual prompts, greatly enhancing the visibility and recognition of traffic signs, and effectively ensuring road traffic safety.
Reflective film types and differences
1. Diamond grade
Generally suitable for traffic signs on high-grade highways and urban roads, the service life is generally 10-12 years. Under normal use, the brightness retention value after 10 years is at least 50% of the initial value.
2. Engineering grade
Traffic signs suitable for general roads, that is, the usual highways, first-level, second-level, third-level, fourth-level roads and temporary signs. The service life of this level of reflective film is generally 7 years, and the brightness retention value after 7 years is at least 50% of the initial brightness value.
3. High-strength grade
The use is basically the same as the engineering grade. The reflective coefficient is at least twice that of the engineering grade, and the service life is generally 10 years. Under normal use, the brightness after 10 years should retain at least 80% of the initial brightness value.
In addition, there is a micro-prismatic reflective film, which has a very high front brightness at a long distance. It is mostly used in places with multiple lanes and multiple bends. It is suitable for contour marks, warning columns, etc., and is not suitable for traffic signs that require close-up recognition.
The reflective traffic signs on the streets will decay in color and clarity after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time. Sometimes drivers cannot clearly identify them at night; some are damaged after being hit by motor vehicles, making it impossible for drivers to identify them. In order to ensure that traffic signs can provide sufficient reflective brightness at night, so that drivers can clearly see the content of traffic signs at a safe enough distance and eliminate traffic safety hazards, traffic signs that have been installed for more than ten years need to be tested, and the reflective film of traffic signs that do not meet national standards needs to be replaced.
Qixiang traffic sign has excellent weather resistance. Whether it is exposed to the sun, rain, or severe cold and freezing, it can always maintain stable performance, no fading, no peeling, ensuring long-term and stable performance.
