Textures softens at about 200°f sufficiently so that it can be bent as needed. it can be sawed, drilled and bonded, but not sheared.

The base and cap material were tested for flammability by Underwriters Laboratories. The material is rated 94HB on the UL94 test.

Prolonged tests in the laboratory to evaluate fading resulted in no noticeable change in colour after 500 hours of exposure in the Fade-O-Meter tester.

Because the top layer is 0.18mm thick, fine detail engraving can be achieved. As an exception, the top layer of Textures Acid Yellow is .25mm. In Addition, the texture finish provides a durable, scratch-resistant surface.
