HONEYCOMB PATTERN CONSPICUITY, (HP)
Technical Specifications
Description:
The HONEYCOMB PATTERN CONSPICUITY, (HP), is a high quality, durable micro-prismatic retroreflective material. Its unique prismatic construction provides an extra high level of reflectivity for demanding traffic control situations. Exceeds applicable requirements for very high intensity grade sheeting applications for Types III and IV retroreflective sheeting as set forth in ASTM D 4956.
Construction:
Face Film: High Gloss
Adhesive: Permanent pressure-sensitive (class 1)
Liner: Film
Physical Properties:
Outdoor Durability:
Warranted for 10 years (3 years for orange) when properly processed and applied.
Minimum Surface/Ambient Air Application Temperature:
68 degrees F (18 degrees C) when applied with a squeeze roll applicator.
Application Surface:
Flat surfaces only. Not recommended for unpainted Stainless Steel applications. Always pretest your specific substrate prior to application. Note: Wet method of application not recommended.
Service Temperature Range:
-40 degrees F to 180 degrees F (-40 degrees C to 82 degrees C)
Film Caliper (with adhesive):
17 to 18 mils
Shelf Life:
One year when stored at the following temperature & humidity conditions 68 degrees F - 77 degrees F (20 degrees C - 25 degrees C) and 50+5 percent R.H.
Other tests:
Meets all other requirements set forth in ASTM D 4956 including shrinkage, flexibility, liner removal, adhesion, impact resistance, Specular gloss and Outdoor weathering (Types III and IV).

(A)The four pairs of chromaticity coordinates determine the acceptable color in terms of the CIE 1931 Standard Calorimetric system measured with Standard Illuminant D65.
(B)The saturation limit of green and blue may extend to the border of the CIE chromaticity locus for spectral colors.
Sign Mounting/Orientation
This prismatic sheeting does not require a special orientation for mounting and thus does not require an orientation arrow.
