The Weatherable Satins are given the same surface treatment as plastic materials used in the marine industry, to minimise the effects of weather, ultra-violet and sea water. Inhibits ultra-violet light from damaging surfaces for 2 to 3 years depending on geofraphical location and uv exposure in a specific application. Provides an additional 2 years protection in applications not including direct and total exposure of sun rays. Reduces risk of scratching on surfaces. Allows masking to be removed before engraving, without nose cone shadow problems during engraving.
Hardness properties are approximately four times greater than regular micro finish materials.
The Weatherable Satins should be cleaned using soap and water, a mild detergent, or denatured alcohol. Abrasive cleaners or aggressive solvents should not be used. The Perspectives are IED's reverse engraving series, introduced in 1992. They feature weatherable acrylic cores with non-glare, matte surface finishes. Double layered color backings assure light transmission only through clear engraved portions of the materials.
