REVERSE COAT Although the coat on the reverse side is usually notrequired to have UV resistance, it must still be corrosion resistant andhighly adhesive. On a well cleaned and chemically pre-treated surface,the primer and epoxy coats on the reverse side provide a coating thatfully meets these requirements.

SIGN CONSTRUCTIONThe adhererable sign face can be applied to either face of GRP Panels.

STIFFENING AND RIVETINGSupport channels may be secured to the back of the panels by thefollowing methods:

• BOLLHOFF non-penetrating rivet system.• Adhesives using 3M 4980 VHB Tape or 3M Scotchweld DP 460.

SUPPORT RAIL RECOMMENDATIONSGRP Sheet has good tensile strength and impact resistance. The nature ofGRP is that it is more flexible than Aluminium. To obtain the best use andservice life it is recommended that the support rails, which providestiffening, are fixed in accordance with TABLE 1.

TABLE 1

SUPPORT RAILS SHOULD BE FIXED A MINIMUM OF 30MM FROM THE RUNNING EDGE OF

THE SIGN. IF A SHEET JOINING SECTION IS TO BE FITTED BY MEANS OF RIVETING, THEN

THE RIVET SHOULD NOT BE WITHIN 15MM OF THE SHEET EDGE.

GRP Sheet is available in 3.2mm thickness. When fixing aluminiumsupport rails by means of a non-penetrating rivet system, a maximum rivetspacing of 150mm should be adopted.

NOTE: GRP Sheet signs will flex more than Aluminium signs of the samesize until they are mounted on posts, hence it is advisable to storecompleted signs flat or with support rails vertical to prevent possibledamage to the sign facings.

BOLLHOFF / HENROB RIVET RECOMMENDATIONSDue to the different properties of the Aluminium alloy and GRP sign plateused for signs, it is necessary to change rivets for each material thicknessas per TABLE 2 (see page 100).

• DO NOT rivet within 15mm from the edge of the GRP sign plate.• Riveting pressure may need to be adjusted to suit the ductility of the materials being riveted.• Should not be necessary to change Upsetting Die or Nose Assembly.

Foamed PVCSheet

IDEAL FOR PRINT AND DISPLAY

Our wide range of free foamed PVC sheets, with smooth matt surface, areparticularly suited to print and display applications, accepting any form ofgraphic overlay including screenprint, digital print direct and vinyl lamination.

Produced using chemical blowing agents to create a fine homogenouscell structure, foamed PVC sheets are half the weight of solid PVC whileremaining flat and rigid, a key requirement for both processing andapplication. Significant chemical resistance and compliant with allinternational fire resistance standards, foamed PVC sheets can be usedsafely in many demanding environments.

EXCEPTIONAL PRINT PERFORMANCE

For effective digital print output, subtractive colour mixing relies onabsorbing some wavelengths of light while reflecting others. For our largeformat digital print customers, printing direct to substrate, our brighterwhite foamed PVC sheet helps deliver a higher level of reflection from thesurface for printed colours that appear more vibrant with sharp, welldefined image definition.

APPLICATIONS

Readily fabricated and formed using conventional tools and equipment, ourfoamed PVC sheets are suitable for a wide range of applications includingsignage, hanging displays, framed panels, wall mounted, printed displaypanels, point of purchase fixtures, wall cladding, partitions and suspendedceilings.

Our foamed PVC sheets also make an ideal core material for structures inthe marine industry due to a combination of features including a highinsulation value, safe fire behaviour to the extent that the product is self-extinguishing and other characteristics, including a high bending stiffness,good strength to weight ratio and the ability to reduce noise, providingan efficient acoustic barrier.

Celuka Sheet WHAT IS CELUKA?

Celuka is primarily a process and as with free foamed PVC, Celukaproduces a sheet that has been expanded with gas to create a cellstructure that helps to deliver a rigid, yet lightweight product.

In the Celuka process the sheet is cooled immediately upon exitingthe die which acts to suppress cell formation at the surface, creatinga hard, high quality finish, while allowing the hot melt to expandinwards. The process is typically preferred for thicker sheets,available from 10mm.

APPLICATIONS

An excellent replacement material for wood based products, Celukasheets have the same screw pull rating as pine yet will never betroubled by rot, mould, swelling, chemical attack or insect infestationand have extremely safe fire performance to BS476/7 Class 1.

Celuka sheets are suitable for use in many different applications, aswith free foamed PVC, including advertising, display structures,cladding, lining and more.

BFP - BlackburnsFluted Panel

WHAT IS BLACKBURNS FLUTED PANEL (BFP)?

BFP is the ideal printing medium. Its double-sided corona treatment allowseasy printing, even for digital printing. BFP is resistant to moisture, it is strongand still very light. This makes BFP the perfect substrate for outside and insideapplications. The corona treatment also provides a better adhesion whengluing the sheets to other materials, or when using adhesives.

BFP can be easily cut or die-cut into virtually any shape.

BFP is available in a variety of colours.

BFP is extruded from polypropylene copolymer, it is much more durablethan cardboard and is completely recyclable.

BFP - PRINTING

BFP sheets are preferably printed by means of screenprinting.

To assure a good adhesion of the inks, Corona treatment of the sheets is obliged.

For screenprinting it is recommended to use solvent-based or UV inks.

Water-based inks are giving poorer results.

ADVISED SCREENS

The finer the mesh of the screen, the finer the print. The rougher the screen,the thicker the print layer will be.

Printing with solvent-based inks, screens with 120 lines/inch are recommended.

For thicker prints, rougher screens should be used.

Printing with UV-based inks, screens with 150-180 lines/inch are recommended.

If rougher screens are used with UV inks, the ink would not dry fast enough.

DRYING OF SOLVENT-BASED INKS

The drying of the ink can be realised in dry-racks in a drying oven (furnace).The drying time and temperature is dependant on the sheet thickness, thethickness of the printed layer and the type of drying oven. Proper tests priorto production are recommended.

DRYING OF UV-BASED INKS

UV-based inks are dried by UV-radiation. The drying happens in a split second.The speed of exposure to this UV-radiation source is dependant on theintensity of the UV-radiation, thickness of the printed layer, colour of print, etc.

Whilst using solvent-based inks, it is advised to keep in mind that the ink candry after a while into the screen when not operating. Printing with UV-inksdoesn't have this risk, since inks are drying only under UV-radiation.

There are a lot of ink-suppliers who offer inks suitable for printing onpolypropylene sheets. The best ink will be different for every printer, soproper testing is advised.

WE CAN RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING INKS

SOLVENT-BASED INK SUPPLIERS:

• POLYPRO TPP

• MASTERFLEX RA

• UNIVERSAL SE

UV-BASED INK SUPPLIERS:

• PLASTOLUV

• UV EXCURE
