ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium #020 Yellow

ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium #020 Yellow

ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium is highly reflective, weatherproof, self-adhesive sheeting with excellent corrosion and
solvent resistance for the manufacture of durable permanent outdoor signing. The product complies with the requirements
described in the ASTM D4956 standard for Type XI retroreflective sheeting

Product Construction
ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium consists of sealed cells of air backed microprisms using total internal reflection. The
distinct shape of the sealing identifies the machine direction and the manufacturer of the sheeting (see drawing).

Reflectivity
ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium meets and/or exceeds the
minimum coefficient of retroreflection (RA) shown in Table 1 when
tested in accordance with ASTM E810, “Standard Test Method for
Coefficient of Retroreflection of Retroreflective Sheeting Utilizing the
Coplanar Geometry”. ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium fully
meets and/or exceeds the requirements of ASTM D4956 for Type XI.

Daytime Color
ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium conforms to the daytime color
requirements in Table 2 when tested in accordance with ASTM D4956.
ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium is available in white, yellow,
orange, green, red, blue, brown, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent yellow green and fluorescent orange.

Nighttime Color
ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium conforms to the nighttime color requirements in Table 3 when tested in accordance with
ASTM D4956 and ASTM E811. The sheeting shall be measured using CIE illuminant A with an observation angle of 0.33° and an
entrance angle of +5°.

Adhesive
The adhesive is protected by a release liner which shall be removed by peeling, without soaking in water or other solvents. The
adhesive produces such a bond that a 1” (50 mm) strip shall support a 1 3/4 pound (0.79 kg) weight for 5 minutes without the strip
peeling for a distance of more than 2″ (50 mm) when applied to a smooth aluminum surface as specified in the ASTM D4956,
section 7.5 adhesion test.

Impact Resistance
Following application to a smooth surface aluminum rectangle, 0.040” x 3” x 6” [1.01mm x 75mm x 150mm], the specimen is
conditioned for 24 hours at 73° ± 3°F (23° ± 2°C) and 50% relative humidity, subject the sheeting to an impact of a 2 lb (0.91 kg)
weight with a 5/8” (16 mm) rounded tip dropped from a 10 in-lb (1.13 N-m) setting on a Gardner variable impact tester, IG-1120, as
per ASTM D4956, section S2.2.1. The sheeting shall show no cracking or delamination outside the actual area of impact.

Flexibility
The sheeting is conditioned for 24 hours at 72°F [23°C] and 50% relative humidity. The release liner is removed and the sheeting is
sufficiently flexible to show no cracking when bent in one second’s time around a 1/8-inch [3.2mm] diameter mandrel with the
adhesive contacting the mandrel.

Weatherability

ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium meets the requirements of ASTM D4956, Section 6.4. The material is weather resistant
and shows no appreciable cracking, scaling, pitting, blistering, edge lifting, curling, or more than 1/32” (0.8 mm) shrinkage or
expansion. Retroreflectivity measurements are conducted after outdoor weathering with an observation angle of 0.20º and entrance
angles of -4º and +30º.The minimum coefficient of retroreflection (RA) after weathering is 80% of the values specified in Table 1.

Solvent Resistance

ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium meets the requirements of LS-300C solvent resistance, section 3.6.7, when tested as
specified in Table VI, test method 4.4.6.

Specular Gloss

ORALITE® 9900 Brilliant Grade Premium shall have a specular gloss of not less than 40 when tested in accordance with ASTM
D523 at an angle of 85°.

Shrinkage
A 9 inch by 9 inch [229mm by 229mm] specimen of the sheeting with liner is conditioned a minimum of one hour at 72°F [23°C] and
50% relative humidity. The liner is then removed and the specimen is placed on a flat surface with the adhesive side up. Ten
minutes after the liner is removed and again after 24 hours, the specimen is measured to determine the amount of dimensional
change. The specimen will not shrink in any dimension more than 1/32 inch [0.8mm] in 10 minutes and 1/8 inch [3.2mm] in 24
hours.
Application Instructions
It is recommended that the application temperature to achieve best results is 65°F [18°C] or above.
Warranty
12-year limited warranty for White, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue and Brown.
10-year limited warranty for Fluorescent Yellow-Green and Fluorescent Yellow.
3-year limited warranty for Orange and Fluorescent Orange.
