Actualperformance life will depend on substratepreparation, exposure conditions andmaintenance of the marking. For instance,in the case of signs facing north in thesouthern hemisphere or south in thenorthern hemisphere; in areas of long hightemperature exposure such as northernAustralia; in industrially polluted areas orhigh altitudes, exterior performance willbe decreased.Transformer oil 24 hours 500 N/mAntifreeze 24 hours 500 N/mSAE Motor oil 24 hours 500 N/mKerosene 24 hours 500 N/mDistilled water (65 o C) 24 hours 600 N/mDetergent solution (65 o C) 8 hours 600 N/m***Information unavailable at time ofprinting.Test MethodsDimensional stability:Is measured on a 150 x 150 mm aluminium panel to whicha specimen has been applied; 72 hours after applicationthe panel is exposed for 48 hours to + 70°C, after whichthe shrinkage is measured.Adhesion:(FTM-1, FINAT) is measured by peeling a specimen at a180° angle from a stainless steel or float glass panel, 24hours after the specimen has been applied understandardised conditions. Initial adhesion is measured 20minutes after application of the specimen.Flammability:A specimen applied to aluminium is subjected to the flameof a gas burner for 15 seconds. The film should stopburning within 15 seconds after removal from the flame.Temperature range:A specimen applied to stainless steel is exposed at highand low temperatures and brought back to roomtemperature. 1 hour after exposure the specimen isexamined for any deterioration. Note: Prolongedexposure to high and low temperatures in the presence ofchemicals such as solvents, acids, dyes, etc. mayeventually cause deterioration.Chemical Resistance:All chemical tests are conducted with test panels to whicha specimen has been applied. 72 hours after applicationthe panels are immersed in the test fluid for the given testperiod. 1 hour after removing the panel from the fluid, thespecimen is examined for any deterioration.Corrosion Resistance:A specimen applied to aluminium is exposed to saline mist(5% salt) at 35ºC. After exposure, the film is removed andthe panel is examined for traces of corrosion.Graphics & Reflective Products Division Asia Pacificwww.averygraphics.com
