3M™ Type IV Reflective Sheeting (High Intensity Prismatic)
3M™ Type IV Reflective Sheeting is a high-intensity prismatic retroreflective material designed for manufacturing traffic signs that require excellent visibility during both daytime and nighttime conditions. It uses microprismatic technology to efficiently return vehicle headlight illumination back toward drivers, improving sign recognition and road safety.
The material is widely used for traffic control signs, regulatory signs, warning signs, guide signs, and road safety applications where enhanced reflectivity and durability are required.
