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 200oF (93.33oC) 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 flammibility by Underwriters Laboratories. It is rated 94 HB on the UL 94 test.

Most of the colours will exhibit slight fading under prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. There are, however, those which tend to fade more severly. This material is designed for use where no direct extreme exposure is encountered.

Note: The above information is given in good faith, but no warranty, express or implied, is given.
