| The plastic material used in the manufacture of the SATINS was
specifically selected and formulated to achieve the best balance of
properties needed for the engraving industry. |
| The material softens sufficiently at about 200°F, which enables bending,
should that be desired. It can also be drilled, sawed, sheared, nailed and
bonded to itself or other materials. |
| Most of the colors will exhibit slight fading under prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight. There are, however, those which tend to fade more severely.
This material is designed for use where no direct extreme exposure is encountered. |
| The base and cap material were tested for flammability by Underwriters
Laboratories. They are rated at 94HB on the UL 94 test. |
