| The physical properties of the NOMARK PLUS 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 94 HB 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. |
