3M™ Diamond Grade™ DG3Emergency service vehicles rely on being recognised and seen in order to be effective. To save lives and protect the public, it’s essential that ambulances, police cars, fire engines and all other emergency service vehicles are quickly recognised at all times and in all weather conditions, whether at the scene of an emergency, or speeding through traffic.

3M Diamond Grade DG3 Reflective Sheeting has been providing effective reflective livery to emergency service vehicles for over 10 years, exceeding the required specifications for reflective vehicle liveries in the UK. By utilising innovative full corner cube technology rather than older truncated cube technology, we have designed Diamond Grade DG3 to be 100% optically efficient, reflecting back around double the amount of light compared with traditional reflective material.

Typical microprismatic material will return around 36% of light back to the driver, while this is enough to meet the minimum requirements of the current specification it is not the optimum in retro reflective performance.

The full corner cube technology in 3M Diamond Grade DG3 returns up to 58% of light back to the driver, Making vehicle liveries brighter and visible for longer even at high entrance angles where visibility is critical.

Full corner cube technology allows Diamond Grade DG3 to work well at long or short distance, and wide entrance angles

The retro reflective livery of an emergency service vehicle is one of its most important safety features. A well fitted, high performance livery will ensure maximum visibility day and night.

Vehicle styles and paint finishes change year on year with ever more challenging shapes and details for a livery to conform to. To ensure optimum quality of livery at every stage of its life, from conversion through to fitting 3M has introduced the Emergency Service Vehicle Fitter Training Program.
