Usage and Fabricaon Guidelines
WEATHERABILITY Due to the natural UV inhibitors in white Foam, it tends to perform very well in
outdoor condions. 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 formulaons that make Foam colors
stand out. We recommend performing your own tes ng by pung Foam and
other manufactures’ color chips, side by side, under the same environmental
condions. 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 formulaon. Please refer
PARAMETERS to Table 5 for Chemical Resistance Chart.
Resistance Codes: 1 - Inert: 2 - Limited; 3 - Very Limited; 4- Non Resistant
