PROCESS PolyColor is ideal for the production of plaques, panel fronts and labels withstanding harsh environments (sun, heat, handling, abrasion, solvents, paint, graffiti, chemicals, moisture, cold…) PolyColor plates produce images of vivid colours on natural aluminium plates This is specially effective for short-run requirements as an alternative to screen printing.  POLYCOLOR CHARACTERISTIC  Durable Image is permanently embedded in the anodic layer and protected by a sapphire-hard surface making it impervious to acids, fungus, moisture, weathering, temperature extremes and UV light.  Fast Process directly from production film to imaged plate, no intermediate plates or screens are required. Effective for one or thousands of custom parts  Sharp Anything that can be photographed can be printed on PolyColor. Images are amazingly sharp, perfect for duplicating fine details.  Easy Few steps. Makes perfect parts every time.  Safe Meets the strictest environmental standards anywhere. Safe for the user and the community.  Minimal investment Economical, long-lasting equipment.  TECHNICAL FEATURES  Durability     Colour   No overlam   UV overlam Outdoor exposure   Black Red Blue Orange Cyan Light green Dark green Yellow Magenta Gold Purple   21 months fade by 10 % 18 months fade by 50 % 18 months fade by 50 % 18 months fade by 50 % 18 months fade by 75 % 18 months fade by 50 % 18 months fade by 50 % 18 months slight fade 18 months complete fade 18 months complete face 18 months fade by 50 %   76 months slight fade 52 months slight fade 52 months slight fade 52 months slight fade 52 months fade by 30 % 52 months slight fade 52 months slight fade 52 months slight fade 38 months fade by 30 % 38 months fade by 30 % 52 months slight fade Abrasion resistance   Taber abraser with CS17 wheel : 7 000 cycles   Slight dulling of surface Salt spray   5 % at 95°F for 700 hours Equivalent to 35 year outdoor exposure.   No corrosion    Chemical resistance Hydrocarbon fluid   1hour immersion   No effect Turbine & jet engine fuel   1hour immersion   No effect JP- 4 Fuel   72 hour immersion   No effect Kerosene   12 hour immersion   No effect Skydrol (hydraulic fluid)   24 hour immersion at room temperature and boiling point   No effect Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)   24 hour immersion   No effect Ethyl acetate   24 hour immersion   No effect Xylol   72 hour immersion   No effect Heptane   72 hour immersion   No effect Ethyl Alcool   72 hour immersion   No effect Ferric Chloride   10 % solution , 16 hour immersion   No effect Ammonium Hydroxide   10 % solution , 16 hour immersion   Slight dulling MIL-P-21563 soap solution   16 hour immersion   No effect MIL-C-25179 AIN in heptane   25 % solution , 1 min immersion (cleaning solution)   No effect Sulfuric acid   10 % solution , 24 hour immersion   No effect Phosphoric acid   1 % solution , 12 hour immersion   No effect Nitric acid   3 % solution , 72 hour immersion   No effect TSP (trisodium phosphate)   1 % solution , 40 hour immersion   No effect
