At Airmaster Sales we have built a long-term relationship and have become an authorized converter for Avery Dennison, an industry leader for reflective sheeting. For over 25 years, Avery Dennison has been the pioneer in the field of glass bead and prismatic reflective films. Their products are in use on signs from coast to coast throughout North America. All Avery products meet industry-standard warranties. Sheeting Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting (ASTM Type I) is commonly used in areas where you need a cost-effective reflective sign such as along rural roads with low traffic volumes and in parking lots where speed is reduced. View T-1500 PDF here. High Intensity Prismatic Sheeting (ASTM Type III & IV) is quickly becoming the standard specification for use in most major centers in Western Canada. Its use is widespread and most suitable for highway signs requiring high visibility with a high-performance life cycle. View T-6500 PDF here. For "Bright when it matters" we use Maximum Visual Performance (MVP) Prismatic Grade Reflective Sheeting (ASTM Type VIII). The MPV grade is the preferred application for high-speed areas where maximum visibility is the primary concern. The fluorescent yellow has been widely accepted to highlight hidden intersections and bridge heights; and the fluorescent orange is becoming the norm for a wide variety of temporary construction signs in Ontario and Western Canada. T-9500 Series The robust performance characteristics of Omni-View (ASTM Type IX) is the perfect choice for premium prismatic sheeting requirements, enhancing short-distance brightness while maintaining long-distance brightness. The overall reflective performance of Omni-View allows it to stand out against the competing brightness of the urban background light while maintaining legibility. The unique sheeting structure provides outstanding weathering properties with a 12-year durability. |
