HDC Fossil Interior Interpretation Panels, interpretation Boards and Indoor Interpretation Signs
High quality solid composite, fibre balanced high pressure laminate (dFBL) interior interpretive panels and indoor interpretation panels
OVERVIEW: Fiber Balanced High Pressure Laminate Interior Interpretation Panels
HDC Fossil indoor interpretation panels are the highest specification interior interpretation panels on the market.
Our fibre balanced high pressure laminate interior panels are formed into a solid composite sheet under immense heat and pressure using environmentally friendly resins and recycled materials. Our panels are so environmentally friendly they are GREENGUARD certified!
HDC Fossil exterior interpretive panels are protected with a 10-year UV inhibitor, which is guaranteed for a full 10-years – no other panel manufacturer is that confident in their panels!
Our panels are totally fire retardant, impervious to moisture and resistant to UV rays, scratching, chipping, cracking, impact damage and graffiti.
Both laboratory and field tests prove that these out perform anything else available including GRP, fiberglass, melamine, vinyl and polycarbonate.
HDC Fossil fiber balanced laminate indoor interpretive panels are manufactured with a smooth sub-surface, facing image printed using our own 12-Colour HD Printing process using environmentally friendly inks.
HDC Fossil indoor interpretive panels are available in thickness from 1/16” to 1”. Panels over 1/2” / 25mm are self-supporting and can be fitted with threaded inserts. Panels of 0.035” or less can be formed to simple bends and profiles. Panels of 0.048" can be used for general purpose applications and suitable for practically all flat (horizontal or vertical) internal installations.

Rockwell Hardness HDC Fossil indoor interpretation panels have a Rockwell Hardness M scale of 95 to 115
Flammability ASTM E HDC Fossil interior interpretation panels have a 162 flame propagation index of 10 (Radiant Panel) to 15 without drip of flame for a 1/10" to 1/2" thickness outdoor signs & exterior panels.
NEMA LD3: HDC Fossil indoor interpretation panels 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 indoor interpretive panel / interior interpretive panels are perfectly suited for commercial use where chemical products are used. HDC Fossil indoor interpretation panels are resistant to common household products, solvents, mild alkalis, and 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 indoor interpretation panels do not store static electricity and are therefore suitable for use in controlled environments where accumulation and retention of static electricity must be avoided.
Fire Retardant: HDC Fossil interior interpretation panels are suitable for application where fire retardant properties are required by building codes.
Toxicity Test: HDC Fossil indoor interpretation panels have passed the LC50 Pittsburgh Protocol Toxicity Test and are equal to and no more toxic than wood or paper.
