Retroreflection Definition
The typical coefficient of retroreflection defined is measured at a -4 entrance angle and a 0.2 observation
angle. It is expressed in candlepower per foot-candle per square foot (candela/lux/square meter) per ASTM
E810.
The entrance angle is formed by a light beam striking the surface at a point and a line that is perpendicular to
the surface at the same point.
An observation angle is formed by the light beam striking the reflective surface and returning to the observer.
From 800 feet (249 meters), a motorist normally views a graphic at a 0.2 angle.
Adhesive Pressure-activated, slideabe with air release channels
