Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pavement marking sheet material and, more particularly, to an all-weather type pavement marking sheet material having a high brightness in reflection against light incident at a large angle of incidence and even during night when it is raining.
  • Pavement marking sheet materials having a light reflex-reflecting function which are used for pavement marking purposes such as providing marking lines and road marks on the roads.
  • Pavement marking sheet material which are presently used for pavement marking purposes all have glass microspheres as reflex-reflecting element dispersed on the surface thereof or mixed in the material for affording visibility during night.
  • These pavement marking sheet materials have the common disadvantage that, when the surface of the marking material is covered with a film of water when it is raining, upper hemisphere portions of the glass microspheres exposed in air above the surface of the marking material and performing a light reflecting function are mostly submerged in the film of water with a result that the light reflecting function is impaired and visibility during night when it is raining becomes extremely poor.
  • 211403/1987 discloses forming, at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the base sheet or continuously in the longitudinal direction of the base sheet in a part of the base sheet as viewed in the transverse direction of the base sheet, of an area in which glass microspheres having refractive index of 2.0 - 2.4 which relatively do not lose the light reflecting function during night when it is raining are embedded in the base sheet.
  • an object of the invention to provide an all-weather type pavement marking sheet material having a sufficient brightness in reflection against light which is incident at an incident angle of degrees or over at which a pavement marking sheet material is usually used and also having a high brightness in reflection during night when it is raining.
  • the high-brightness all-weather type pavement marking sheet material according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a reflex-reflecting sheet which comprises a layer of glass microspheres of a relatively large diameter which are at least partially exposed in air and bonded to one another by a transparent resin, a layer of glass microshperes of a relatively small diameter which are buried and fixed in a transparent resin layer behind the glass microspheres of a large diameter with an interval between the glass microspheres of a large diameter and the glass microspheres of a small diameter, and a reflecting layer consisting of a metallized film or the like material provided behind the glass microspheres of a small diameter, and a base sheet made of rubber or synthetic resin bonded to the lower surface of the reflex-­reflecting sheet.
  • a reflex-reflecting sheet which comprises a layer of glass microspheres of a relatively large diameter which are at least partially exposed in air and bonded to one another by a transparent resin, a layer of glass microshperes of a relatively
  • light incident at a large angle of incidence of 60 degrees or over is incident upon the glass microspheres of a relatively small diameter in the reflex-reflecting sheet through the glass microspheres of a relatively large diameter and the transparent resin, is reflected by the reflecting layer and is reflex-reflected passing through the glass microspheres of a relatively small diameter, the transparent resin and the glass microspheres of a relatively large diameter.
  • a sufficiently high reflex-­reflecting characteristic can be obtained at an angle of incidence of 60 degrees or over.
  • the brightness in reflection is not substantially reduced but is rather increased compared with a dry state (i.e., a state corresponding to night when it is fine) even when the exposed portions of the glass microspheres of a relatively large diameter are covered with a film of water.
  • the amount of light received by the glass microspheres is large even if the angle of incidence is large so that a relatively large amount of light reaches the reflecting layer provided at a lower layer.
  • the base sheet made of unvulcanized rubber for example, is provided behind the reflex-reflecting sheet, shock applied on the glass microspheres provided on the surface by a passing vehicle is mitigated and the likelihood of coming off of these glass microspheres is reduced.
  • resin 3 of a reflex-­reflecting sheet 1 is required to have transparency and have a sufficient strength to hold glass microspheres 4 of a relatively large diameter. Further, since the pavement marking sheet material is used on the road, the resin 3 must be selected taking account of resistances to wear, staining and color change. As resins satisfying these requirements, acrylic polymers, aliphatic urethanes and cross-linked polyester are preferably used. Thermoplastic resins such as vinyl polymers and cellulose acetate butylate may also be used.
  • the diameter of the glass microspheres 4 is less than 0.25 mm, the brightness in reflection is insufficient for achieving the object of the invention. It is therefore necessary to select glass microspheres of a dimater within the range of 0.25 mm - 2 mm as the glass microspheres 4. Glass microspheres of a diameter of 0.25 mm - 0.5 mm are found particulary preferable.
  • glass microspheres As the glass microspheres 4, glass microspheres of a refractlve index within a range of 1.75 - 2.2 are preferable. If the refractive index is less than 1.75, a sufficient brightness in reflection cannot be attained whereas if the refractive index exceeds 2.2, it is difficult to manufacture such glass microspheres so that the cost of manufacture becomes extremely high.
  • the glass microspheres 4 of a relatively large diameter are dispersed substantially uniformly over the resin so that they will cover about 30 - 60%. of the entire furface area of the reflex-reflecting sheet 1 and the glass microspheres 4 form a layer.
  • glass microspheres 5 of a relatively small diameter are buried and fixed in a transparent resin layer behind the glass microspheres 4 of a relatively large diameter with an interval between the glass microspheres 4 and the glass microspheres 5 form a layer.
  • a transparent resin layer behind the glass microspheres 5 of a relatively small diameter is provided in the rear portion of a transparent resin layer behind the glass microspheres 5 of a relatively small diameter.
  • a reflecting layer 8 consisting of a metallized film or the like material.
  • glass microspheres 5 of a relatively small diameter glass microspheres of a diameter within a range of 53 ⁇ m - 63 ⁇ m and a refractive index within a range of 2.0 - 2.2 are preferable.
  • the reflecting layer 8 can be formed by forming a metallized film such as an aluminum film by a known method such as a vacuum deposition in the rear portion of a focus adjusting resin layer 7 provided behind the glass microspheres 5 and performing a function of adjusting the position of the reflecting layer 8 so that it coincides with the focus of the glass microspheres 5.
  • the lower layer portion a comprises a glass microsphere holding resin layer 6 holding the glass microspheres 5, a focus adjusting resin layer 7 adjusting the thickness of the film of resin in accordance with the focus of the glass microspheres 5 and a reflecting layer 8 made of a metallized film or the like material and having curved surfaces concentric with the glass microspheres 5.
  • the lower layer portion a may comprise further a surface resin layer 9 for reinforcing the glass microsphere holding resin layer 6.
  • Reference numeral 10 denotes an adhesive layer made of acrylic resin or the like adhesive material.
  • the glass microspheres 5 are embedded in about 20% - 30% of their diameter In the glass microsphere holding resin layer 6. In case the surface resin layer 9 is provided, thickness of about 10 ⁇ m - 30 ⁇ m is sufficient as the thickness of this layer 9.
  • the upper layer portion b comprises a transparent resin layer 3 formed on the lower layer portion a by suitable means such as coating and this transparent resin layer 3 holds the glass microspheres 4 of a relatviely large diameter.
  • this transparent resin layer 3 for fixing the glass microspheres 4 a minimum thickness of 20 ⁇ m will be sufficient. In view of the necessity for holding the glass microspheres 4 on the roads, however, a thickness of at least 70 ⁇ m will be necessary.
  • the film thickness of the resin layer 3 has correlation with the diameter of the glass microspheres 4 and a preferable film thickness is half or less of the diameter of the glass microspheres 4.
  • the film thickness of the resin layer 3 therefore can be within a range of 20 ⁇ m - 100 ⁇ m and preferably 70 ⁇ m - 100 ⁇ m. If the film thickness is less than 20 ⁇ m, the strength of the resin layer 3 for holding the glass microspheres 4 is insufficient whereas if the film thickness exceeds 100 ⁇ m, the brightness in reflection is reduced.
  • the method for manufacturing the reflex-reflecting sheet 1 is of course not limited to the above described one but the reflex-reflecting sheet 1 may be manufactured by other method such as making it in sequence from the side of the glass microspheres 4 of a relatively large diameter.
  • a base sheet 2 bonded at the back of the reflex-­reflecting sheet 1 requires to be made of a material having excellent conformability to the irregular pavement surface and durability to various mechanical forces.
  • the base sheet 2 therefore comprises, as its main ingredient, unvulcanized synthetic rubber such, for example, as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR), chloroprene rubber (CR), chloro-sulphonyl-polyethylene, a urethane rubber or a synthetic resin such, for example, as polyvinyl chloride.
  • the base sheet 2 may comprise, if necessary, additives including a filler such as calcium carbonate powder and a pigment for providing color to the base sheet.

  • a release paper 12 is normally attached to the lower surface of the adhesive of the adhesive layer 11 but it may be omitted depending upon the type of the adhesive employed in the adhesive layer 11.
  • the unvulcanized synthetic rubber or synthetic resin which is an ingredient of the base sheet 2 is added with desired amount of the filler, pigment and other materials if required.
  • the mixture is blended and is formed into a sheet of a thickness of 5 mm or less through heated pressure rolls and then is wound into a roll. If necessary, the roll of the base sheet is unwound and an adhesive coated on a release paper in a thickness of 50 ⁇ m or more is superposed on the lower surface of the base sheet and then the base sheet is wound again.
  • the base sheet 2 may be composed of two layers, i.e., a base layer made of the above described ingredients and a thin colored layer provided on the base layer.
  • the thickness of the base layer preferably is about 1.0 mm - 1.6 mm and the thickness of the colored layer on the base layer preferably is about 20 - 25 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness of the thin colored layer on the base layer is required to have the same features as those of the base layer described above, to be adhered integrally to the base layer and to be colored in a desired color for the pavement marking purpose so that the same material as, or a material which is different but has the same properties as, the unvulcanized synthetic rubber used for the base layer added with a suitable coloring agent is preferably employed.
  • the base layer which has once been wound into a roll is unwound and the colored layer is formed thereon by coating a liquidized material prepared by dissolving an unvulcanized synthetic rubber material in a solvent and adding a coloring agent affording a desired color there to on the upper surface of the base layer by an amount sufficient for giving a desired thickness to the coated film after drying.
  • the base sheet 2 may be a double layer structure composed of an upper layer of a relatively hard material having excellent durability to various mechanical forces and a lower layer of a relatively soft material having an excellent conformability to an irregurlar pavement surface. If the lower layer is made of a material having JIS K6301 hardness of 30° - 75° and restoration rate of 50% or less, the base sheet 2 has an excellent conformabillty to the pavement surface and is hardly separated once it has been adhered to the pavement surface.
  • the above described hardness and restoration rate can be obtained by, for example, adding a relatively large amount of plastic material in the ingredients of the lower layer.
  • the amount of addition of such plastic material required in the ingredients of the lower layer is 2 parts by weight or more.
  • Suitable plastic materials for this purpose include elastomer, plasticizers (D.O.P. chlorinated paraffin, epoxi etc.) and liquid rubber.
  • the two layers comprise, as their main ingredients, unvulcanized synthetic rubber such, for example, as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) or a synthetic resin such, for example, as chloro­sulphonyl-polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride or other material known in the field of the pavement marking sheet material.
