Aluminum-Covered Polyethylene (LDPE)

Face Color: Black
Temperature Range: 0° to 170° F
Tensile Strength: 8,740 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Not Rated
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: ASTM E84 5/15 for Flame and Smoke, UL 94V0, Made of FDA Listed Material

A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity. Use these sheets outdoors as signs, wall panels, canopies, and building cladding. One side is painted black; the painted side is normally exposed.
