multi-color engravable hdpe polymer sheet :

HDPE ColorCore is a versatile multi-color engravable high-density polyethylene sheet with multiple layers of contrasting colors. It is a superior homogeneous sheet, a product of a unique state-of-the-art continuous process, and manufactured to the highest standards in the industry. hdpe color core has a matte finish on both sides of the sheet. It is environmentally stabilized to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions. hdpe color core will not rust, delaminate or rot when exposed to UV, humidity or water. hdpe color core is made with high-impact-resistant polymer to handle more abuse than conventional sign materials. Its thin cap layers and bright primary colors make it ideal for signage, marine, playground and recreational applications. For maximum versatility, standard colors are made to coordinate with hdpe color core. The polymer sheet never needs painting or refinishing, works like wood and it is easy to fabricate using common woodworking tools and techniques. The material is easy to engrave and machine, as the cap is approximately .050” thick. hdpe color core is upgradable to Xinxing with an advanced antimicrobial technology for protecting the product surface against stain and odor causing bacteria, algae and fungi.
