ABSTRACT:
Retroreflective construction comprising a monolayer of microspheres with associated dielectric mirrors which are hemispherically surrounded by tangentially-oriented, preferably contour-conforming, reflective pigment nacreous flakes. The dielectric mirrors and reflective nacreous pigment flakes cooperate additively substantially without interfering with each other to provide a high brightness retroreflective sheet. The novel sheets retain much of their reflectivity after several launderings or drycleanings and, in some embodiments, can be made very flexible, making them well-suited for use as reflective fabrics.
