General Description
Toughness and weatherability. When it comes to signage and clear sheeting applications, you want a material that will stand up to the demands of forming, fabrication and installation. And once installed, you need a material that holds up over time. Spartech formulations are designed for class-leading performance in these critical areas. Crylex™ is the preferred material for rigid formed sign faces when both weatherability and impact strength are required. It provides the necessary toughness to withstand the typical abuses of sign fabrication and installation, yet retains its color, clarity and resistance to harsh outdoor environments. Choose Crylex when long term weatherability and ease of forming/fabrication are necessary.
