Product Description

ORALITE® reflective film series 5600 FLEET ENGINEER GRADE is a tough weather and solvent resistance product which boasts high flexibility combined with excellent corrosion resistance. The material is plotter cuttable and is especially developed for high-quality commercial and fleet livery to produce lettering, markings and decorations. The material can be applied to moderately curved surfaces with rivets or corrugated substrates, due to its special cast PVC construction.
ORALITE® 5600 is composed of catadioptric glass beads which are embedded in a transparent layer of plastic material (design A, formerly Type I).

Retroreflectivity

ORALITE® 5600 meets the performance requirements of ECE 104 class D and is available as 5600D product with watermark. Values of retroreflection as 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® 5600 is available in 15 different colours (see table 1 for full list of available colours). ORALITE®5600-070 displays a black colour at daylight. When being illuminated in darkness, it appears silver to silver-grey.

Adhesive

The adhesive consists of a solvent polyacrylate, permanent pressure sensitive adhesive. The release paper (145 g/m2) has a PE coating applied to silicone-coated paper on either side. As the product and batch number are applied to the silicone-coated paper, all production parameters and raw materials can be completely traced.

Application/Processing

ORALITE® 5600 FLEET ENGINEER GRADE 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® 5600 can be screen printed with ORALITE® 5018 screen printing ink or inkjet printed with 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 ORAGUARD®
290F or ORAGUARD® 293F in order to provide increased UV protection.
While the use of heat will help to partially remove the product, a solvent based adhesive remover maybe 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 9001:2008 controlled manufacturing environment & batch traceability is possible on the basis of the roll number.
