Material Performance Analysis of Signage

We see signage every single day, then which materials can be used to manufacture signage?

The materials for signage are very different according to the appearance and function, classified by material type, there are stainless steel, cold-rolled steel plate, galvanized plate, aluminum plate, pvc plate and other materials.

1. Stainless steel: There are two kinds of stainless steel, namely,high light and matte, both with good texture, slow oxidation, good flatness, smooth surface, good plasticity, high toughness and mechanical strength. Main characteristics: Weldability, corrosion resistance, high polishing efficiency, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, is an alloy steel that is not easy to rust.

Model: 201 #, 304 #, 316 #, etc.

Surface: mirror, brushed, sand

Specification: 1.0 * 2.0m, 1.2 * 2.4m, 1.5 * 3m

Common thickness: 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0mm, etc.

2. Cold-rolled steel plate: The thickness of cold-rolled sheet is 0.1-8.0mm generally. The thickness, produced by most factories is less than 4.5mm,which is determined according to the equipment capacity and market demand. Because of rolling at room temperature,it won’t oxidize.So cold-rolled plate has good surface quality and high dimensional accuracy. In addition to annealing treatment, its mechanical properties and process performance are better than those of hot-rolled thin steel plates. In many fields, especially In the field of home appliance manufacturing, it has gradually replaced hot rolled steel.

Specification: 1.0 * 2.0m, 1.2 * 2.4m, 1.5 * 3m

Common thickness: 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0mm, etc.

3.Galvanized sheet

Galvanized steel is a steel plate, which coated with a layer of metal zinc to prevent the surface from corrosion and prolong its service life.

Performance: anti-corrosion, long life

Specification: 1.22 * 2.44m, 1.25 * 2.5m

Common thickness: 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0mm

4. Aluminum plate: Aluminum plate refers to the rectangular plate rolled by aluminum ingot, includes pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate, thin aluminum plate, medium-thick  pattern aluminum plate. Aluminum plate has good extensibility, high tensile strength, and  high molding.

Specification: 1.0 * 2.0m, 1.2 * 2.4m, 2 * 3m

Common thickness: 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5mm, etc.

5.Acrylic: Commonly known as plexiglass, it is an important thermoplastic that was developed earlier. It has good transparency, high chemical stability and weather resistance. It is easy to dye, to process and has a wide range of applications.

Specification: 1.2 * 2.4m, 1.2 * 1.83m

Common thickness: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 15, 18mm

  1. PVC board: It is a board made of PVC with a honeycomb mesh cross-section. It is a vacuum blister film used for surface packaging of various panels, so it is also called decorative film. Has the characteristics of good processing performance, low manufacturing costs, corrosion resistance, insulation and so on.

Specification: 1.2 * 2.4m, 1.2 * 1.83m

Common thickness: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 15, 18, 24mm
