(8) A sturdy plastic sheeting extruded from either polypropylene or high density polyethylene. It is more durable than corrugated fiberboard, lighter in weight than wood and solid plastic sheets. Its fluted ribs support both surfaces, making it a light weight, tough and abuse resistant. Additionally, it is both chemical and water resistant making it an idea choice for numerous commercial and industrial applications.
Features: excellent printability, lightweight, easy to fabricate, weather-resistant, U.V. stabilized, strong and durable, corona treatment. Smooth
Special Additives: Ultraviolet stabilizers, Anti-static, Flame retardant
(5) Expanded PVC Foam Sheet is a lightweight, rigid PVC foam sheet that is used on a variety of applications including signs,displays, exhibit booths, photo mounting, interior design, thermoforming, prototypes, model making, and much, much more. It can be easily sawed, stamped, punched, die cut, sanded, drilled, screwed, nailed, or riveted. It can be bonded using PVC adhesives. Its properties include excellent impact resistance, very low water absorption and high corrosion resistance. It is suitable for printing, especially screen printing, and is compatible with a wide range of inks. It is ideal for vinyl lettering and can be painted with a brush, roller or airbrushed.
(6) ULTRA foam boards are the ultimate light weight alternative sign board. These products can be screen-printed, digitally printed, painted, laminated, glued, cut, mounted, sawed, routed and die-cut. They are offered in exterior and interior grades, a variety of adhesive surfaces, litho-quality liners.
Features: excellent print-ability, lightweight, easy to fabricate, weather-resistant, U.V. stabilized, strong and durable, corona treatment and smooth surface.
Special Additives: Ultraviolet stabilizers, Anti-static, Flame retardant
(4) HDU -Sign foam (also known as high density urethane or HDU board) is a great alternative to wood for interior and exterior signage. In fact, many signs that appear to be carved from wood are actually carved out of sign foam. High Density Urethane Foam (HDU)
- is a rigid, closed cell, high density urethane material. It can be sandblasted, routed, carved, sanded, or machined. It will not crack, twist or curl after long exterior exposure, making it the ideal replacement for wood
signs.
