Product Description of Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting EG Vinyl
Engineering Grade Reflective Sheeting, or EG reflective sheeting for short, is an Engineering grade of glass bead reflective sheeting that has extremely high levels of reflectivity. This product has a 1-3 year performance life and is available in a non-tearable PET substrate in a range of eight colors.
Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting is self-adhesive with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and poly liner. The standard width available is 1.22 meters. Other widths are available upon request.
Retroreflectivity simply refers to the property of a traffic sign or device to reflect light back to the driver to increase nighttime visibility. Retroreflectivity degrades over time, necessitating the need for the systematic replacement of signs and work zone devices to maintain the retroreflectivity standards established and required by FHWA.
Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting is a beaded technology material designed for use on non-critical traffic signs and is highly resistant against the extremes of hot, cold, dry, and humid weathering conditions. Meets ASTM D4956 Type I specifications.
Whether at work or play, KWVINYL KW-XS6000 Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting helps your work to be seen at dawn, dusk, or night in all weather conditions. Traffic signs using EG vinyl and clear process colors are highly visible day or night and contribute greatly to driving safety. The panels are available in seven standard colors with a pre-applied pressure-sensitive (PS) adhesive.
Safety protective equipment within the reflective material can cause a strong reflective effect under certain light irradiation to provide the most effective and reliable security for the pedestrian in the dark or night operation personnel.

Feature Of Engineer Grade Reflective Vinyl
Engineer Grade Reflective Vinyl (EG) is the most basic type of retroreflective sheeting, also referred to as Type I. Typically specified for use on the non-critical street and road signs such as parking signs or way-finding signs and daytime work zones. It has less reflectivity than its counterparts.
Engineer grade reflective sheeting is also used often for reflective stickers and decals and generally lasts approximately 1-3 years. The sheeting may be hand-cut, band sawed, guillotined, cold or hot die-cut, and electronically cut. Application Temperature: 65F (18C) minimum (sheeting and substrate).
- Warranted outdoor durability of 1-3 years outlasts the competition and increases your customer’s satisfaction.
- Excellent reflectivity even when totally wet. Ideal for wet or dry weather conditions day and night.
- Obtain maximum impact for entrance signage as KW-3130 retains reflectivity when viewed at wide entrance angles.
- Apply to typical industrial substrates and flat surfaces only (not for vehicle application).
- Resists mild acids, alkalis, salt, and water.
- Available by-the-yard in popular widths.
- Enclosed lens retroreflective sheeting with glass bead retroreflector
- Designed for the production of non-critical traffic signs and pressure-sensitive stickers

Fabrication Of Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting
Letters and characters should be a minimum height of 3 inches with a minimum stroke width of 3/8 inch.
Cutting Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting
Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting may be hand-cut, band sawed, guillotined, cold or hot die-cut, and electronically cut.
Electronic Cutting Machines:
Users are encouraged to evaluate cutting procedures for their own equipment and shop conditions. However, these general recommendations should be followed to
ensure easy handling.
- 1. There should be enough downforce on the knife blade to slightly score the liner. Too little downforce will not completely cut through the sheeting and adhesive. Too much downforce will cut through the liner, dull the blade and serrate the cut edge.
- 2. The knife blade should be sharp and clean. If there is adhesive on the blade, wipe it off with mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol.
- 3. Sheeting temperature should be at least 65˚F (18˚C) or higher. If the sheeting temperature is less than 65˚F (18˚C), allow it to condition at 65˚F – 75˚F (18˚C – 24˚C) for at least 24 hours.
Weeding – Weed (remove) the excess sheeting as soon as possible after cutting. After more than 24 hours, the adhesive may flow into the cut areas and make weeding more difficult.

Commonly Asked Questions
You may be surprised to learn that paint is never used in the process of making traffic signs. Traffic signs are made by applying tremendous pressure to a .080 or .125 sheet of aluminum reflective vinyl film that creates a very durable bond. Once affixed, it is impossible to remove the material without damaging the sign. There are three types of reflective materials used to make traffic signs. They are engineer grade, high intensity, and diamond grade reflective sheeting. What is the difference between standard reflective or engineer grade (also known as Type I) and High Intensity (Type III) and diamond grade (Type XI) reflective sign materials?
Diamond grade reflective sheeting meets ASTM D4956 Class XI standards. This highly reflective sheeting uses 100% efficient, full-cube prism technology, reflecting almost twice the amount of light to the light source as high-intensity prismatic sheeting. Diamond grade reflective material is the highest grade of reflective material for traffic signs and is most commonly used on interstate highways and construction projects, as well as in areas where high visibility is critical. It includes fluorescent orange and fluorescent yellow-green colors and is most commonly used for school, sidewalk, and bicycle lane signs. What is Diamond Grade Reflective?
HIP Reflective Sheeting HIP reflective sheeting, known as High Intensity Prismatic Reflective Sheeting meets ASTM requirements D4956-09 Type III and IV and ASTM 4956-07 Type X. It is a non-metallized, microprismatic reflective sheeting used primarily for reflective traffic and roadway signs, barricades, or other road construction zone equipment, and traffic delineators such as cones or barrels. HIP sheeting is highly reflective and its durable topcoat protects signs and other traffic control devices from scratches and wear. It is not only highly reflective at night but also draws attention to itself during the day. HIP reflective sheeting is used for more permanent traffic signs, work zone equipment, etc., and is available in white, yellow, red, orange, blue, green, and brown. The manufacturing process for HIP reflective sheeting is also considered to be relatively “green” because it produces 97% fewer VOC emissions and uses 72% less energy to manufacture than engineer grade reflective sheeting. However, the reflectivity value alone is a better reason to use HIP. HIP reflective sign material has a longer life span than EG Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting. This material is considered to be durable in the medium to long term, typically lasting about 10 years. What is HIP Reflective?
Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting reflects at night when light hits the sign. The retro-reflective beaded material has a lifetime of 1-3 years. It generally is used for parking signs, other non-critical signs and also provides a less-expensive alternative. What is engineer grade reflective?
