Overview

V-MARK™ Reflective Pavement Marker – Pavement Delineation #RRS-PVC70 consists of microprismatic lenses that are integrated into a tough, weather-resistant PVC or synthetic resin body with a smooth, transparent surface. Designed for permanent installation, these markers are embedded into the pavement or fixed using bituminous adhesive/epoxy to ensure stability under high-speed traffic.

RRS-PVC70 can be used on highways, urban roads, tunnels, intersections, parking lots, airport aprons, and all types of road and industrial safety applications.

RRS-PVC70 are made strictly according to EN 1463, CE Certified, and similar international standards.

Customized Options

Multiple DIY options are available, such as customized logos, non-standard sizes, retail packaging, easy-install features, etc.

High Reflectivity

Advanced reflective design provides brilliant night-time visibility, with stable light return that helps guide drivers clearly in low-light conditions and adverse weather.

Certifications

Mandatory EN 1463-1 & EN 1463-2 compliant markings, plus customized markings, such as logos, letters are acceptable.

Excellent Adhesive

Patented adhesive provides strong bond strength to asphalt and concrete road surfaces, and long-lasting adhesion even when exposed to severe weather and continuous traffic rolling.

Various Test

High durability and performance determined by passing various indoor lab testing (compression, weathering, reflectivity) and multiple outdoor field testing (traffic rolling, real-road exposure).

Impact Strength

Heavy-duty engineering plastic construction withstands repeated vehicle impacts and high-pressure traffic rolling without cracking or deformation, ensuring long-term performance on roads.

Color Coding & Application Scenarios

V-MARK™ Reflective Material used in our reflective road studs conforms to the photometry requirements of EN 1463 / ASTM D4280 standards, with specific retro-reflectivity values for each color as shown in the following table when tested according to the retro-reflective performance procedure.

Color	Meaning	Typical Applications	Min. Retro-reflectivity (mcd/lx/m²)
Red	Warning /Prohibition	Intersections, stop lines, no-entry zones, wrong-way alerts	≥ 120
Yellow (Amber)	Caution / Lane Separation	Centerlines, curve warnings, temporary diversions	≥ 200
White	Guidance / Lane Marking	Lane edges, straight paths, highway dividers	≥ 300
Blue	Special Information	Parking lots, bus lanes, accessible routes	≥ 80
Green	Permission / Direction	Bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, exit guides	≥ 100

*Note: Retro-reflectivity values meet or exceed EN 1463-1 requirements for each color category.*

While V-MARK™ reflective road studs meet high visibility standards, no product guarantees absolute visibility in all conditions (e.g., heavy rain, fog, dirt). Performance varies based on road conditions, installation, and maintenance. Buyers should test for their specific needs.

Installation Positions of Reflective Road Studs

The effectiveness of reflective road studs depends on their placement. Here are the most common positions：

Highways: Installed along lane dividers and shoulders to improve lane discipline at high speeds.
Intersections: Placed to highlight stop lines and guide drivers through complex junctions.
Pedestrian Crossings: Used to alert drivers to crossing zones, especially at night.
Tunnels: Provide consistent guidance where natural light is absent.
Curves: Enhance visibility on sharp turns, reducing accident risks.
Parking Areas: Define boundaries and improve traffic flow in lots.

Installation Spacing Guidelines

The spacing of reflective studs ensures proper visibility. General guidelines include:

Urban Streets: 3-5 meters apart.
Highways: 6-12 meters apart.
Sharp Curves: 2-3 meters apart for maximum guidance.
Tunnels: 2-5 meters apart for continuous visibility.

Factors Affecting Spacing and Positioning

Traffic Speed: Higher speeds require closer spacing for quick visual cues.

Road Type: Highways vs. urban streets demand different approaches.

Visibility: Weather, fog, and lighting conditions influence spacing.

Local Regulations: Standards may vary by country or region.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

STEP 1

Mark the correct installation location and clean it up (generally 3m apart).

STEP 2

Pour the glue on the installation location.

STEP 3

Clean the bottom of the road stud andClean the bottom of the road stud andplace it on top.

STEP 4

After installation, clean up the spilled glue andAfter installation, clean up the spilled glue anddebris around, wait for 4 - 8 hours to activate.

Storage and Shelf Life

Storage

Store in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight
Temperature: 5°C to 30°C (41°F to 86°F)
Humidity: < 60% RH
Store in original packaging or sealed containers
Avoid stacking heavy items on top
Keep away from chemicals, solvents, and fuels

Shelf Life

Reflective road studs should be installed within 3 years of receipt
Epoxy adhesive (if applicable) has separate shelf life – check adhesive packaging
Store in original unopened packaging for maximum shelf life

Important Notes

Exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture may affect adhesion performance
Inspect before installation: do not use if housing is cracked or reflector is damaged
For best results, install within recommended shelf life period

Note: Storage conditions may vary by specific product model. Always refer to the product datasheet for exact requirements.

General Maintenance Guidelines

Routine cleaning is recommended for maximum retro-reflectivity. The following cleaning methods are recommended.

Routine Cleaning

Wash with soft brush, cloth, or sponge using water and mild detergent
High-pressure washing is acceptable:
- Maximum pressure: 1200 PSI / 80 bar
- Maximum water temperature: 140°F / 60°C
- Minimum distance: 12 inches / 30cm from the stud
- Spray angle: no greater than 45 degrees from perpendicular to the road surface

Chemical Cleaning

When using de-icing agents or road chemicals, ensure they are suitable for plastic and reflective materials
For stubborn dirt (oil, grease, tire marks), gently rub with a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol
Thoroughly rinse after cleaning to remove chemical residue
Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, especially in combination with sunlight, may affect the reflective material

What to Avoid

Do not use solvents (acetone, thinner, gasoline) to clean the reflective surface
Do not use metal scrapers or abrasive tools that could scratch the reflector
Do not apply high-pressure spray directly at close range, which may damage the stud or loosen adhesion

Important

The suitability of the intended cleaning process must be determined by the end user based on actual road conditions and local practices. Regular inspection and maintenance extend the lifespan and performance of reflective road studs.

Note: For studs installed with epoxy adhesive, avoid high-pressure water directed at the base, which could compromise adhesion over time.
