Understanding Reflective Film Grades: A Complete Technical Guide

Introduction

Reflective films are categorized into different grades based on their reflectivity performance, durability, and intended applications. Understanding these grades is essential for selecting the right product for your specific needs.

Engineering Grade (EGP)

Engineering Grade Prismatic (EGP) reflective film is the entry-level prismatic product. It typically offers 150-250 cd/lx/m² reflectivity and has a 5-7 year durability rating. EGP film is suitable for:

  • Urban street signs
  • Parking lot signs
  • Wayfinding signs
  • Low-speed road applications

High Intensity Prismatic (HIP)

High Intensity Prismatic (HIP) reflective film offers superior performance with 350-500 cd/lx/m² reflectivity and 10+ years of durability. HIP is recommended for:

  • Highway traffic signs
  • Permanent road signage
  • Construction zone warnings
  • High-speed road applications

How to Choose

When selecting a reflective film grade, consider factors such as road speed, sign placement, expected lifespan, and budget. Our technical team can help you determine the optimal solution for your project.
