• 3M™ Diamond Grade™ Reflective Sheeting is state-of-the-art sheeting used for traffic control and guidance signs and devices. This highly reflective, durable, and visible sheeting meets a wide variety of sign visibility needs and outperforms the competition when it really counts. You can count on 3M’s microprismatic reflective sheeting in all light and weather conditions.
• Series 4000 DG³ is a state-of-the-art, full cube prismatic reflective sheeting that delivers optimal performance at all sight distances. Its optical elements return almost 60 percent of available light to drivers—nearly double that of other prismatic sheetings. DG³ sheeting meets ASTM Type XI and is designed as a replacement for all types of reflective sign sheetings in use today.
• DG³ sheeting has pressure sensitive adhesive and may be applied by hand squeeze roll applicator or mechanical squeeze roll applicator. Screen process with 3M™ Process Color Series 880I or Series 880-00.
• Overcomes declining illumination from newer headlights
• Provides level of luminance needed by older drivers
• Accommodates drivers of large vehicles
• 100 percent efficient optical elements
• Drivers today need more help on the
  roadway: Several factors render much of today’s installed signing less effective in providing the visual guidance drivers need. Visually/optically aimable (VOA) headlights, with their horizontal cut-offs, reduce the visibility of signs by as much as 53 percent (depending on sign location). Diverse vehicle sizes – from cars to SUVs to semi-tractors – create vastly different observation angles. Changing demographics also play into the need for improved
  signage. Older drivers have slower response times and decreased visual acuity at night
• Science supports better signage: A distinct correlation exists between sign brightness
  and a driver’s ability to comprehend the sign’s message. Comprehension directly relates to reaction time, which can mean the difference between safely navigating a certain roadway environment or being in an accident. One study found that where brighter, more visible signs were installed, crash numbers fell by 25 to 46 percent over three to six year period
• Designed to meet the needs of all drivers now
  and years from now: 3MTM Diamond GradeTM DG3 Reflective Sheeting incorporates “full cube” technology for optimal performance. Its optical elements are 100 percent efficient, returning almost 60 percent of available light – nearly double that of traditional prismatics. DG3 sheeting is designed as a replacement for all types of reflective sign sheetings in use today. It performs at all sight distances – including short and medium sight distances, and where signs are positioned in disadvantaged locations such as overhead or on the left shoulder.
• Better for the environment: Not only is 3M Diamond Grade DG3 sheeting bright and durable, it’s better for the environment. The manufacturing processes for prismatic sheeting reduce VOC emissions by 97 percent and energy consumption by 72 percent compared to standard engineer grade sheeting
  processes. Now that’s a change for the better.
• Delivers optimal performance where and when drivers need it most
• Available in standard and fluorescent colors for highly visible signs from day to dusk to dark

State-of-the-art full cube reflective sheeting with pressure sensitive adhesive for application to aluminum substrates using a hand or Interstate squeeze roller applicator. Carries 3M’s MCS™ (matched component system) warranty. Screen process with 3M™ 880I process color.
