Abstract
The invention relates to a method of making retroreflective sheeting and other articles prepared from casting a moldable synthetic resin onto a tool having a microstructured surface.
Claims (24)
1. A method of making retroreflective sheeting comprising:
providing a tool comprising a PG cube corner microstructured surface with at least one channel;
advancing the tool in a direction such that the channel is substantially parallel to the direction of the advancing tool;
casting a moldable resin onto said tool surface;
solidifying the resin forming a retroreflective sheet having a surface comprising cube corner elements; and removing the sheet from the tool.
providing a tool comprising a PG cube corner microstructured surface with at least one channel;
advancing the tool in a direction such that the channel is substantially parallel to the direction of the advancing tool;
casting a moldable resin onto said tool surface;
solidifying the resin forming a retroreflective sheet having a surface comprising cube corner elements; and removing the sheet from the tool.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the cube corner microstructures are cavities.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the cube corner microstructures are cube corner elements.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the channel is a primary groove channel.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the channel comprises a first planar face and second planar face intersecting at a common vertex.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the channel is a structured channel.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the channel comprises a first face comprising cube corner faces and second face comprising opposing cube corner faces.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein the channel comprises the intersection of opposing non-dihedral edges of opposing cube corner microstructures.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the channel is a cube cavity channel.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the channel comprises a first planar face and a second structured face.
11. The method of claim 9 wherein a replica of the channel provides cube corner elements.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein the first planar face is a replica of a primary groove face.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein the resin is a molten thermoplastic resin.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein the resin is a thermoplastic resin provided in the form of a sheet.
15. The method of claim 1 wherein the resin is provided on a carrier web.
16. A method of making retroreflective sheeting comprising:
providing a tool comprising a cube corner microstructured surface with channels selected from primary groove channels, structured channels, cube cavity channels, and combinations thereof;
advancing the tool in a direction such that the channel is substantially parallel to the direction of the advancing tool;
casting a moldable resin onto said tool surface;
solidifying the resin forming a retroreflective sheet having a surface comprising cube corner elements; and removing the sheet from the tool.
providing a tool comprising a cube corner microstructured surface with channels selected from primary groove channels, structured channels, cube cavity channels, and combinations thereof;
advancing the tool in a direction such that the channel is substantially parallel to the direction of the advancing tool;
casting a moldable resin onto said tool surface;
solidifying the resin forming a retroreflective sheet having a surface comprising cube corner elements; and removing the sheet from the tool.
17. Retroreflective sheeting comprising at least one longitudinal peripheral edge and at least one row of PG cube corner microstructures and at least one channel extending substantially parallel to the row; wherein the channel is substantially parallel to the longitudinal peripheral edges of the sheeting.
18. The sheeting of claim 17 wherein the cube corner microstructures are PG
cube corner elements.
cube corner elements.
19. The sheeting of claim 17 wherein the cube corner microstructures are PG
cube corner cavities.
cube corner cavities.
20. The sheeting of claim 17 wherein the sheeting comprises a thermoplastic resin.
21. The sheeting of claim 17 wherein the longitudinal peripheral edge spans the sheeting in a maximum dimension.
22. The sheeting of claim 17 wherein the sheeting comprises a pair or parallel longitudinal peripheral edges.
23. The sheeting of claim 17 wherein the sheeting is provided in a roll-good.
24. Retroreflective sheeting comprising a pair of longitudinal peripheral edges and rows of cube corner microstructures and channels extending substantially parallel to the rows;
wherein a major portion of the channels are substantially parallel to the longitudinal peripheral edges of the sheeting and the channels are selected from primary groove channels, structured channels, cube cavity channels, and combinations thereof.
wherein a major portion of the channels are substantially parallel to the longitudinal peripheral edges of the sheeting and the channels are selected from primary groove channels, structured channels, cube cavity channels, and combinations thereof.
