Alufoam Overview
|
Alufoam panels feature a virgin, white, foamed polyethylene core which has the advantage of being 30% lighter than standard aluminium composite. The ultra white surface of Alufoam displays printed colours with increased brightness and intensity and a special coating delivers vastly improved ink adhesion for colour fast prints.
Particularly suited to display applications where the side of the panel may be visible. |
