711-2 Flexible Prismatic Conspicuity Markings Series 963 are highly retroreflective flexible microprismatic markings designed to mark the sides and rear of vehicles for enhanced visibility and detection. The reflective marking consists of prismatic lenses that are formed in a transparent, synthetic resin, reflectorized and backed with a pressure sensitive adhesive and paper liner. Series 963 meets or exceed all FMVSS 108 requirements.

Coefficient of Retroreflection
Coefficient of Retroreflection |
N/A The minimum coefficient of retroreflection values of these sheetings when new are given in table A in terms of candelas per lux per square meter. Measurements are made from samples applied to an aluminum panel in accordance with ASTM E-810 "Standard Test Method for Coefficient of Retroreflective Sheeting" and represent an average of values at 0 and 90 degree orientations. |
- 1 The angle formed by the light beam striking the reflective surface and the light beam returning to observer.
- 2 The angle formed by a light beam striking a surface at a point and a line perpendicular to the surface at the same point.
