Rowmark Safe-T-Mark - Rotary engraving material

Rowmark is proud to introduce Safe-T-Mark™, a fabrication-friendly alternative to traditional phenolic materials. Safe-T-mark compares to Norplex, Lamacoid, and Melamine in flame tests and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for industrial tags, equipment identification, electrical tags, and control panels. Safe-T-Mark is easily rotary-engravable and is:

• Fire retardant and non-flammable

• Electrically non-conductive

• Insulative

• PVC, formaldehyde, and phenol-free

• RoHS compliant

• UL 94 VO rated

Avoid the handling and fabrication frustration of traditional phenolic sheet materials. Choose this improved FR material that fabricates with ease!

The physical properties of the Safe-T-Mark engraving material are largely controlled by the base material. This material was chosen to provide a good balance of properties for this product to satisfy a wide range of uses. The material softens at about 200°F (93.00°C) sufficiently so that it can be bent where needed. It can be drilled, sawed, sheared, nailed, bonded and die-cut. The base material, as well as the foils, were tested for flammability by Underwriters Laboratories. The base material is rated as UL 94 V0 on the UL 94 test. The foil was judged as not contributing to combustion of the base. Most of the colors will exhibit slight fading under prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. There are, however, those which tend to fade more severely. This material is designed for use where no direct extreme exposure is encountered.
