Re*Flex Division
Visual Industries, Inc. has a patented reflective optical plastic sheeting design (Re*Flextm) that has extremely broad application for traffic signs, commercial highway use and other forms of advertising. It utilizes existing light, including natural light to illuminate whatever is painted on the reflective sheet. The extruded polycarbonate plastic sheet contains the reflective micro-prisms to give it reflective properties equivalent to ASTM 4956, Level VII. This eliminates the use of expensive reflective sheeting on substrates such as aluminum. The plastic sheets are pigmented to the required colors; therefore, the only labor is to apply the text via silk screening reflective tape or ink jet printers via conventional sign equipment. The plastic sheet is more durable than the aluminum and reflective sheeting, therefore it will flex, not bend. Layer separation cannot occur.
Its estimated service time of 10 years and low cost allows it use in applications where reflective signs are not presently used such areas as safety, directional, and advertising. It can be decorated for use as bill-boards, real estate signs, large signs like those found in malls and gas stations, business signs for stores and restaurants and indoor advertising and information displays.
Reflective optical plastic sheeting can also be used indoors to redirect light to provide more even distribution by reflecting light from areas such as the walls near ceilings and have it reflected back to a reflected light source. This cuts down on the amount of wasted light, resulting in a substantially lower electricity bill for the user. Potential uses include arenas, casinos, and classrooms.
The reflective plastic sheeting is patented in the
United States
(5237449),
Canada
(2101643), and
Mexico
(179586).
The Company is presently negotiating for the manufacturer, distribution and sale of its reflective optical plastic sheeting in the
United States
and other countries including
Australia
, The Philippines and
India
