3M LAUNCHES NEW DIAMOND GRADE DG3 REFLECTIVE SHEETING WITH ASSURED SEAL
25 June 2006 - 3M Europe

3M, a leading supplier of retro-reflective materials, has developed a brand new Diamond Grade micro-prismatic sheeting for emergency services vehicles. New 3M Diamond Grade DG3 Reflective Sheeting provides brilliant daytime colour and night time reflectivity and incorporates an innovative new edge sealing solution that cuts and seals in one process. Utilising full corner cube technology, the new product provides optimum levels of visibility at short, medium and long distances, giving improved performance over the full range of viewing distances in daylight, low light, darkness and adverse weather conditions.

Claire Fletcher, Marketing Manager for 3M Traffic Safety Systems, explains, "Diamond Grade DG3 Reflective Sheeting with assured seal uses the same colour and fluorescent pigments as the existing Diamond GradeÔ Long Distance Performance sheeting, so can be seen clearly from afar, but because it uses full cube corners, it also returns light at short and medium range distances better than any other sheeting. This combination of properties makes it ideal for the improved visibility and safety of emergency services vehicles in rural, motorway and urban environments."

Claire added, "In addition to improved visibility, DG3 Reflective Sheeting with assured seal is dimensionally stable, which means that there is no shrinkage after application so it looks good for longer."

Offering strong product warranties, excellent customer service and over 60 years' experience in manufacturing and supplying retro-reflective materials, 3M offers protection, performance and peace of mind. More information is available on the new 3M Traffic Safety Systems website: www.3m.com/uk/traffic, or call Claire Fletcher on 01344 857954.
