Retroreflective coated article and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

To provide a retroreflective coated article which is excellent in long-term stability of retroreflective property, and a method for manufacturing a retroreflective coated article for efficiently obtaining the retroreflective coated article.SOLUTION: There is provided a retroreflective coated article obtained by imparting retroreflective property to a coated object by coating, wherein an aluminum paste containing non-leafing type scaly aluminum particles is used in a reflection material and thereby can prevent gathering of aluminum particles on the surface of a coated film, white rust resistance is enhanced by suppressing the aluminum particles from contacting atmospheric air, a coated film is formed by coating a coating material containing the reflection material having improved retroreflective performance by bringing the aluminum particles into close contact with only a lower side of glass beads and a film-forming resin and dispersing the reflection material, glass beads are sprayed to the coated film before the coated film is cured, and then a retroreflective coated film where the glass beads are multilayered therein and a part of the glass beads is exposed on its surface is formed by curing the coated film.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
