SAFETY SIGNS & POSTERS

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MATERIALS

It’s important to choose the right materials because a degraded or partially detached safety sign compromises the legibility and
understanding of its message. Sign and label materials must be matched to your facility’s environmental conditions, the intended location
of signs, and planned installation methods.
Factors to consider when selecting materials for your sign:
• Indoor vs. outdoor conditions • Lighting conditions • Contamination issues
• Fade resistance • Emergency lighting conditions • Wash down conditions
• Temperature variations • Graffiti-resistant characteristics (signs exposed to public) • Maintenance and cleaning procedures
• Temperature extremes • Adhesives that bond to your intended mounting surfaces

Stainless Steel Aluminum Brass Acrylic

• Low carbon steel which • Light Weight • Ease of fabrication • Excellent optical clarity
contains chromium. • Corrosion Resistance • Durable • Excellent weather ability and
• Corrosion & impact resistance • Electrical and Thermal • Corrosion resistance resistance to sunlight
• Fire and heat resistance • Conductivity • Attractive appearance • Rigid, with good impact strength
• Aesthetic appearance • Reflectivity • Excellent dimensional stability
• Strength-to-weight advantage • Ductility and low mould shrinkage.
• Ease of fabrication • Impermeable and Odorless • Stretch forming increases
• Long term value • Recyclable bi-axial toughness
