and weather resistant, essentially smooth, flat, outer surface when finished with material
in the manner recommended by the retro-reflective sheeting manufacturer.
A. RETRO-REFLECTIVE SHEETING REQUIREMENTS
1.0 Reflective Characteristics
The unprinted retro-reflective sheeting shall have the following minimum brightness
values expressed as average candlepower per square foot of material. Measurements
shall be conducted in accordance with the reflective intensity testing procedures for
reflective sheeting specified in federal specification LA-300C, "Sheeting and Tape,
Reflective: Non-Exposed Lens, Adhesive Backing", Para. 4.4.7.

and -4 entrance in accordance with the rainfall test method specified in federal
specification LS-300C, "Sheeting and Tape Reflective: Non-Exposed Lens, Adhesive
Backing", Para. 4.4.9.4.

3.1 Decals must have a pre-coated pressure sensitive adhesive that forms a durable,
vandal resistant bond to clean, dry, painted, varnished, fiberglass, aluminum, and
steel surfaces. Surfaces may be moderately rough, pitted or waxed.

soaking in water or other solvents and shall be easily removed after accelerated

3.3 The adhesive shall not exude from edges of the sheeting when processed into
the finished decal so as to cause stacked pieces to stick together during
shearing, cutting, printing, handling, or while packaged in shipment and
distribution.
4.0 Film
4.1 The sheeting shall have a similar diffuse (daytime) and reflected (night time)
color.
4.2 The sheeting surface shall be readily cut/diecut without cracking, or flaking, and
shall be compatible with transparent or opaque inks and protective finishing clear
as designed and supplied by the reflective sheeting manufacturer for decal
fabrication.
4.3 The decals processed and applied in accordance with the recommendations of
the reflective sheeting manufacturer shall be easily cleansed of normal direct
accumulation by washing with water and mild detergent. The surface of the
decals and wording and numerics printed thereon shall be sufficiently solvent
resistant to permit cleaning with solvents such as VW&P naphtha, mineral spirits,
turpentine, and other solvents commonly used on vessel finishes. When rinsed
and dried, the surface shall show no appreciable change following cleaning when
compared to a new clean decal surface.
4.4 The protective finished clear coating on the decals shall remain clear and durable
and must provide a compatible surface for direct application of additional decals. The
protective finished clear coating on the front of the decals shall also be designed so as
to not de-laminate when repeatedly exposed to sunlight and heat for at least twelve (12)
months.
5.0 Physical Characteristics
