Maximum Conspicuity for High-Speed & Emergency Zones
Discover ORALITE® Super Bright™—the elite high-intensity microprismatic reflective sheeting for long-distance recognition and incident management. MUTCD compliant. Manufactured in the USA.
What is ORALITE Super Bright?
When long-distance visibility is the top priority, professional manufacturers and first responders rely on high-intensity retroreflective materials that deliver superior brightness, extreme weatherability, and strict MUTCD compliance.
High-Intensity Optics
Engineered with an advanced high-intensity microprismatic structure to return maximum light directly to the driver's eyes, even at wider observation angles on high-speed interstates.
Emergency Incident Pink
Available in highly stable Fluorescent Pink, the MUTCD-mandated color for incident management. Instantly alerts drivers to unpredictable emergency scenes and accidents.
Fabric-Reinforced Skeleton
The microprismatic layer is permanently welded to a heavy-duty fabric-reinforced vinyl backing. This Class 5 elastomeric construction provides unmatched tear and crush resistance.
Engineered for Long-Distance Recognition
In high-speed highway zones or complex urban environments with heavy visual clutter, standard reflective sheeting can get lost in the noise. ORALITE Super Bright solves this through superior light return.
By utilizing an elite tier of microscopic, three-dimensional prisms, Super Bright guarantees that vehicle headlights are captured and reflected back with intense brilliance. This high-gloss surface also prevents critical fluorescent pigments from fading, maintaining daytime conspicuity season after season.
First Responder Insight
"At 65+ MPH, driver reaction time is everything. Super Bright's long-distance recognition capabilities provide crucial advance warning for emergency personnel responding to accidents, fires, and unexpected lane closures."
How Super Bright Compares
While both Super Bright and Marathon are premium Type VI roll-up materials, Super Bright is tailored for high-speed and emergency scenarios where absolute maximum light return is required.

Maximize Your Investment
Super Bright's heavy-duty composite manufacturing is designed to resist extreme weather and physical abuse. Follow these guidelines to maximize its 3-year durability rating.
⚠️ Avoid These Mistakes
- DON'T stack heavy traffic cones, brackets, or tools on top of folded signs.
- DON'T use abrasive scrub pads to clean the sign; they scratch the UV-stabilized top film.
- DON'T roll up the sign while soaking wet for long-term storage (prevents mildew).
✓ Storage Best Practices
- DO roll the sign tightly with the reflective face pointing inward.
- DO wash with mild detergent, water, and a soft sponge.
- DO use mineral spirits for heavy road tar, followed immediately by a soap rinse.
Technical FAQs
Why use Fluorescent Pink roll-up signs?
Fluorescent pink is the MUTCD-mandated color for emergency incident management (such as traffic accidents, fires, or natural disasters). It immediately tells drivers they are approaching an unpredictable emergency scene rather than a planned, long-term construction zone.
Does ORALITE Super Bright meet ASTM and MUTCD specs?
Yes. It is an ASTM D4956 Type VI, Class 5 retroreflective sheeting that fully complies with MUTCD requirements for temporary traffic control, including Chapter 6I for incident management.
Will Super Bright signs crack when folded?
No. When properly manufactured and maintained, Super Bright's flexible elastomeric polymers and heavy-duty fabric backing prevent the permanent creasing and fracture delamination that destroys cheaper roll-up signs.
What colors are available in Super Bright?
ORALITE Super Bright is officially available in White, Yellow, Fluorescent Orange, and Fluorescent Pink, providing versatility across all temporary traffic control needs.
