1 Graphics Sign, Interpretation Panel & Interpretation Sign




High Quality Solid Composite, High Pressure Laminate (HPL) Graphics Sign, Interpretation Panels & Interpretation Signs





Graphics Sign, Interpretation Panel & Interpretation Sign Product Description



Solid Composite, High Pressure Laminate (HPL) Graphics Sign, Interpretation Panel & Interpretation Sign General Description


HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign are the highest specification graphics sign, interpretation panels & interpretation signs on the market. Our graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign are made from a solid composite high pressure laminate (HPL) which is fire retardant, extremely impervious to moisture & resistant to UV rays, scratching, impact & graffiti.

HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign are protected with a 10-year UV inhibitor & the graphics printed using 12-colour high definition printing technology, unique to HDC Fossil.

Our graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign are available in thickness from 1/16” to 1”. HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign over 1/2” / 25mm are self-supporting and can be fitted with threaded inserts.

HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign general description


HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign high pressure laminate (HPL) grades are manufactured with a smooth sub-surface image on one side and a sanded surface on the other side to allow proper bonding to the supporting substrate. Bonding our interpretation panel & interpretation sign to substrate materials should be done according to the proven principles of veneering. Particleboard and MDF are among the many suitable substrates on which an HDC Fossil interpretation panel & interpretation sign can be bonded.

HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign of 0.035” or less can be formed to simple bends and profiles.

HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign of 0.048" can be used for general-purpose applications & suitable for practically all flat (horizontal or vertical) installations.

HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign are fire retardant and extremely resistant to moisture, UV rays, scratching, impact & graffiti. Our High Pressure Laminate (HPL) graphics sign, interpretation panel & interpretation sign are protected with a 10-year UV inhibitor and guaranteed for a full 10-years.

Rockwell Hardness
HDC Fossil interpretation sign, graphics sign & interpretation panel have a Rockwell Hardness M scale of 95 to 115.

Flammability ASTM E
HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation sign & interpretation panel have a 162 flame propagation index of 10 (Radiant Panel) to 15 without drip of flame for a 1/10" to 1/2" thickness interpretation sign & interpretation panel.

NEMA LD3:
HDC Fossil graphics sign interpretation sign & interpretation panel exceed the standards for decorative laminates established by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association NEMA LD3-1991. These standards establish the minimum criteria for resistance to wear, boiling water, high temperature, cigarette burns, fading, dimensional stability, staining, appearance and formability (bending and post forming grades).

Chemical & Stain Resistant:
HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation sign & interpretation panel are perfectly suited for commercial use where chemical products are used. HDC Fossil interpretation sign & interpretation panel are resistant to common household products, solvents, mild alkalis, & diluted mild acids. Some staining agents, especially those with grease bases paint or ink, will require the use of a solvent for removal. These stains can be removed using turpentine, 100% mineral spirits, isopropyl “rubbing alcohol”, Goof Off “Graffiti Remover” or WD-40, lacquer thinner, acetone or MEK.


Static Electricity:
HDC Fossil graphics sign, interpretation sign & interpretation panel do not store static electricity and are therefore suitable for use in controlled environments where accumulation and retention of static electricity must be avoided.
