| The physical properties of the SILKS 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 (93.33°C) sufficiently so that
it can be bent where needed. It can be drilled, sawed, sheared,
nailed, bonded and die-cut. |
| The material was tested for flammability by Underwriters
Laboratories. It is rated 94 HB on the UL 94 test. |
| 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. |
