HDPE ColorCore<sup>®</sup> - Red/White/Red

 

HDPE ColorCore® Overview
What is HDPE ColorCore®?

HDPE ColorCore® is a versatile and durable HDPE sheet with color embedded into the sheet, rather than laminated. ColorCore® is a colorfast material - its colors won't fade from exposure to the elements, making it an excellent material for signage and display applications. HDPE ColorCore® will not rust, delaminate, or rot, resists scratches and graffiti, and is made to handle more abuse than conventional sign materials.

Customers Also Asked:
How is ColorCore® made?

Unlike other signage materials made where color is achieved through lamination, HDPE ColorCore® is manufactured with the proprietary PolyFusion process which embeds layers of color into a single sheet. HDPE ColorCore® retains the benefits of standard HDPE and will not delaminate, crack or chip.

Does HDPE fade in the sun?

HDPE ColorCore® will not fade in the sun. HDPE ColorCore® is weather resistant and UV stabilized to resist deterioration in the harshest of outdoor environments. Additionally, the color of HDPE ColorCore® is fused into the sheet itself as opposed to laminated as seen on other conventional sign materials.

Is HDPE waterproof?

HDPE ColorCore® is waterproof and ideal for areas that are washed often or regularly exposed to moisture. HDPE ColorCore® is also resistant to a wide variety of cleaning solutions and other chemicals.
