A photoluminescent retroreflective sheeting for use in structures when a power outage occurs. Guidance systems are made from this sheeting to mark exits and escape routes as well as possible hazards and safety devices. The novel sheeting includes photoluminescent properties that glow in the dark as well as retroreflective properties that retroreflect light incident upon the same sheet such that only one sheet has to be used rather than individual sheets with separate properties.

Photoluminescent retroreflective sheeting

A retroreflective unitary laminate material having an acrylic layer on which a sign legend is printed and which is covered by an ultraviolet absorbent overlay that has poor affinity for paint and low surface tension thus protecting the printed sign from deterioration due to weathering and enabling the sign to be readily cleansed without damaging the printed signs, and minimizing water beading on the sign front face.
