Overview

Retroreflectivity

ORALITE® 5600RA meets the performance requirements of ECE 104 class D and AS/NZS 1906.1 Class 2. Typical values of retroreflection shown in table 1 are complied with when measured in accordance with the corresponding specifications using CIE standard illuminant A, and the provisions of CIE No.54.2.

Colour

ORALITE® 5600RA is available in 11 different colours. ORALITE® 5600RA-070 displays a black colour at daylight. When being illuminated in darkness, it appears silver to silver-grey. The colour specifications measured in accordance with CIE No.15.2 are listed in table 2.

Release Paper and adhesive

The adhesive is a solvent polyacrylate which is designed for easy application. The release paper (155 g/m2) has a PE coating applied to silicone-coated paper on either side. The Rapid Air® technology enables easy and quick application reducing the incidence of bubbles & creases, especially of large-sized applications. The product code and batch number are printed on the backside of the liner.

Application/Processing

ORALITE® 5600RA was especially developed for high-quality commercial and fleet livery. Surfaces to which the material will be applied must be thoroughly cleaned from dust, grease or any contamination which could affect the adhesion of the material. Freshly lacquered or painted surfaces should be completely cured. The compatibility of selected lacquers and paints should be tested by the user, prior to application of the material. The self adhesive reflective material can only be used for dry application. For other applications the user is fully responsible for

evaluating the suitability of the product, and for any risks associated with that use.

ORALITE® 5600RA can be screen printed with ORALITE® 5018 screen printing ink or inkjet printed with most solvent based inks, UV- or Latex inks. Please refer to the chosen ink manufacturer’s instructions to determine if an application laminate is required. If required, it is recommended that the material is laminated with ORALITE® 5051, ORAGUARD® 289F, ORAGUARD® 290F or ORAGUARD® 293F in order to provide increased UV protection.

When using non-ORAFOL inks or printers, the application must be tested and approved by the customer. While the use of heat will help to remove the product, a solvent based adhesive remover may be required to completely remove any residual adhesive. Please refer to the Practical Information published by ORAFOL for full instructions or contact your ORAFOL Reflective Solutions Division representative for advice relating to the above.

Note: All ORALITE® products are manufactured within an ISO 9001:2015 controlled manufacturing environment & batch traceability is possible on the basis of the roll number.
