Abstract:
Exposed lens retroreflective article 10 that comprises a colored layer 14 and a layer of optical elements 12 that are partially embedded in the colored layer 14. The colored layer 14 comprises reflective flakes 16 and a dye that is covalently bonded to a polymer 18. The articles can retain their color after multiple industrial wash cycles. The use of a reactive dye, reflective flakes, and/or polymer precursor during the preparation of the colored layer enables a launderably-durable colored retroreflective article to be made without the use of a solvent and without the use of a temporary carrier.
