1540 Avery Dennison is offering the Omni-Brite S-9000, a flexible microprismatic material designed for use on safety vests and other garments.

The company, which has a range of omni-directional reflective work zone sign sheeting and pre-striped barricade reflective sheeting for optimal visibility in hazardous work zone areas, says its Omni-Brite S-9000 offers high levels of reflectivity no matter which way work zone workers move, even in wet weather conditions.

The product has been certified to meet or exceed many industry standards, including ANSI/ISEA-107, EN-471 and CSA-Z96, and is the sister product to S-9000.

Omni-directional sheeting does not have datum marks and the sheeting can be printed and mounted at any rotation without a significant change in reflectivity. Fluorescent prismatic sheeting products are available for rigid and flexible signage in applications like utility company, construction and survey work zones; emergency situations, and special events.
