COVER STORY
Reynobond is available in a choice of colours and finishes from full gloss to satin and metallics
available in a variety of colours and finishes. Both Reynobond and Skybond painted coils meet European RoHS legislation, which prohibits items to have more than 0.1 per cent of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated bipheynyl or polybrominated diphenyl ether or 0.01 per cent of cadmium. Easily bent or folded, Skybond is ideal for print and fabrication construction. In response to increasing environmental concerns, Robert Horne Group also stocks Brett Martin’s Foamalux Xtra, an environmentally friendly substrate with excellent processing capabilities. Manufactured from recycled foam PVC recovered from production and post consumer signage waste, Foamalux Xtra helps reduce waste, is better for the environment and, due to its design, offers creative routing and engraving possibilities. This greener choice demonstrates that the recycled option does not compromise on quality.
Foamalux Xtra is a unique material comprising a recycled black core of up to 80 per cent recycled content sandwiched between one or two pristine white surfaces of virgin PVC. Lightweight, durable and with a Class 1 fire rating, Foamalux Xtra is available in a three and five millimetre single sided options, the S1 Xtra, and in 10 and 13mm double sided options, the S2 Xtra, in sheet widths up to 3,050mm.
The high density, fine, smooth surface is said to provide excellent resistance to knocks and scratches, resulting in a better quality finish for all types of processing and excellent adhesion for print and vinyl application. The colour formulation of Foamalux Xtra’s surface has been developed specifically for UV stability in digital processing and to minimise yellowing and maximise colour reproduction. Its black core creates an excellent bevelled edge effect when routed or an interesting contrast when engraved. The use of reclaimed material means that Foamalux Xtra provides a cost effective option especially where a thicker substrate is required.
Easy to work with and fabricate, Foamalux Xtra offers unlimited scope and creative opportunities across many applications including shadow effect signage, engraved signage, screen printing and vinyl application possibilities. The material can be used for site-boards, exhibitions, display units, shop fitting and point of sale. Foamalux Xtra is part of the
comprehensive range of Foamalux Foam PVC sheets, which includes bright white for enhanced digital printing and an extensive range of colours in satin and gloss finishes. Foamalux is the leading brand in the Robert Horne Group foam PVC portfolio, which also includes economy brands Falcon and Target. These brands form a part of the
comprehensive range of materials offered for producing extensive sign and display applications, which is continually being enhanced to meet customer needs. With other names including Lexan, Altuglas, Priplak, Avery, Oracal and dtec, in combination with own brands, you can be sure that Robert Horne offers the right quality solution at the right price.
