Usage and Fabricaon Guidelines
WEATHERABILITY Due to the natural UV inhibitors in white Foam, it tends to perform very well in
outdoor condions. Colors have the tendency to fade over me when exposed
to direct sunlight. However, Foam colors perform the best in the industry.
Several years of research have resulted in formulaons that make Foam colors
stand out. We recommend performing your own tes ng by pung Foam and
other manufactures’ color chips, side by side, under the same environmental
condions. The results will astound you.
FIRE RESISTANCE Conforms to UL94 V0, UL94 5V and UL48, which allows to be used in the
manufacturing of electric signs.
FORMULATION Contains no lead or heavy metals in its formulaon. Please refer
PARAMETERS to Table 5 for Chemical Resistance Chart.
Resistance Codes: 1 - Inert: 2 - Limited; 3 - Very Limited; 4- Non Resistant
