Technical Specs & Customization Options

Technical Specifications & Customization
Core Material Properties
Thickness: 2mm–12mm (fully customizable)
Industry-specific recommendations:
Automotive: 4–6mm (ESD-compatible grades for static-sensitive environments)
Construction: 6–12mm (high-strength, wind-resistant for structural signage)
Agriculture: 2–4mm (lightweight, UV-optimized for prolonged outdoor exposure)
Logistics: 3–5mm (optimal weight-to-durability balance for temporary markers)
GSM: 300–1,200 g/m²
Premium PP maintains ±5% GSM tolerance (critical for precision cutting and mounting consistency).
Recycled grades vary ±15%, causing inconsistent rigidity and print defects.
Surface Smoothness: ≤1.5 μm Ra (measured per ASTM D4382)
Ensures razor-sharp print resolution and minimizes ink absorption.
Recycled grades typically exhibit ≥2.0 μm Ra, leading to ink bleeding and faded graphics.
Treatments:
Corona Treatment: >42 Dyne (ASTM D257 verified), guaranteeing 100% ink adhesion for high-resolution graphics.
UV Stabilization: HALS + UV absorbers, certified for 2–5 years outdoor exposure (ISO 4892-2 tested).
ESD Additives: Surface resistivity 10⁸–10¹¹ Ω/sq (customizable), essential for electronics-sensitive applications (e.g., automotive components).
Material Grade Comparison
| Feature | Everplast Premium PP | Recycled Market Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Material Source | 100% virgin polypropylene (traceable raw material) | Mixed recycled PP (unverified sources) |
| UV Resistance | 2–5 years outdoor exposure (no fading/cracking) | 6–12 months (rapid degradation in sunlight) |
| Surface Smoothness | ≤1.5 μm Ra (optimal for high-res printing) | ≥2.0 μm Ra (ink bleeding, poor adhesion) |
| Dyne Level Consistency | >42 Dyne (±1, batch-certified) | 35–42 Dyne (variable, inconsistent prints) |
| Tensile Strength | 25–30 MPa (rigid, impact-resistant) | 18–22 MPa (brittle, prone to cracking) |
| Cost | +15–20% premium | Base price |
| Total Cost of Ownership | Lower (30% longer lifespan, zero reprints) | Higher (frequent replacements, 2x reprints) |
| Recommended Use Cases | Automotive, Construction, Long-term Outdoor | Short-term Indoor, Budget Projects |
💡 Cost-Benefit Insight: While recycled grades appear cheaper upfront, 78% of procurement managers report 2–3x higher lifetime costs due to print failures, premature replacement, and labor overhead. Everplast Premium PP delivers ROI within 12 months for high-visibility applications.
