Evaluation of Retroreflective Sign Sheeting Materials by Accelerated Laboratory Weathering

The primary goal of this project is to conduct accelerated laboratory weathering test protocol recommended in BE717 to predict acceptable performance of retroreflective sign sheeting and validate the proposed protocol. The test results of accelerated weathering protocol established in BE717 will be used to compare data with outdoor weathering exposure of approved materials.
