Abstract:
A flexible display panel (10) can be applied to a concrete or other vehicular or pedestrian support surface (11). The panel (10) is formed of a laminated assembly which comprises a fibrous backing layer (12) capable of carrying a printed image, a bituminous foundation layer (13), which adheres the display panel (10) to the concrete, and transparent wear and weather resistant top coating layer (18).
Abstract:
Daylight fluorescent articles are disclosed that utilize durable fluorescent pigment particles resulting from a fluorescent dye incorporated within a matrix polymer selected from polycarbonate, polyester and mixtures thereof and where the particles are of various desired shapes and sizes. Embodiments of such fluorescent pigment particles may also be retroreflective and are especially useful for pavement marking surfaces and retroreflective products for highway transportation safety.
Abstract:
A kit for applying markers to transportation surfaces, the kit containing a substantially self-supporting primer layer (12), a marker (20), and an adhesive layer (18), the primer layer capable of substantially conforming and adhering to a transportation surface (10) when the primer layer is placed in contact with the transportation surface and pressure is applied. Also, a market transportation surface having a substantially self-supporting primer layer and a method for applying a market to a transportation surface primed with a substantially self-supporting primer layer.
Abstract:
Retroreflecting road marking system comprising a coating layer which is composed of a binder, glass beads, one or more pigments, and fillers, on which immediately after its application and prior to its complete cooling, drying and/or curing glass beads have been introduced, the coating layer comprising a composition composed of: 30 - 70 wt.% of glass beads having a particle size distribution in the range of 0,8 to 3,5 mm, 3 - 30 wt.% of TiO2, 5 - 40 wt.% of fillers and/or aggregate, as well as 10 - 40 wt.% of binder, and the particle size distribution of the glass beads introduced immediately after application being in the range of 100 to 600 mu m, preferably in the range of 100 to 300 mu m. Through the effect of traffic the retroreflecting road marking system according to the invention attains good retroreflecting properties soon after application also in the wet state and loses these far less quickly even after busy traffic.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for forming a concrete block, particularly but not exclusively a composite block with a reflective facia portion. The block is formed by a dry-cast technique, in which mixture for forming the block has a water/cement ratio less than or equal to 0.35, in combination with application of a compaction force so that the resultant block complies with compressive strength requirements set out in BS 6717: Part 1: 1993.
Abstract:
Retroreflective article (80) that provides effective retroreflective brightness at very high entrance angles (82) as well as low entrance angles (60).
Abstract:
Traffic delineators (10, 20) with vertically disposed retroreflective markings (14) that exhibit high retroreflective brightness at high incidence angles and low incidence angles. The delineators are well suited for use on guard rails, Jersey barriers, bridge abutments, walls, barrels, posts, etc., especially in locations near intersecting traffic lanes.
Abstract:
A marking tape comprising a support base and a top layer, wherein said support base comprises a butadiene rubber, characterized in that said support base further comprises at least one resin selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated polycyclodienic resins and aliphatic hydrocarbon resins having a softening temperature of from 60 DEG to 160 DEG C.
