Razor Signs uses different sign face materials

Acrylic, Impact-modified Acrylic, UV-resistant PETG, Poly-carbonate, and UV-resistant Poly-carbonate are all modern sign face plastics that Razor Signs uses for indoors and outdoors.







Acrylic is a clear plastic that resembles glass. Advantages include stiffness, resistance to weathering and the availability of many pigmented colors.

Impact-modified Acrylic has the highest impact strength that approaches ten times that of standard acrylic.

UV-resistant PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate...say this three times) is a co-polyester that is clear and offers superior impact strength over acrylic.

Polycarbonate plastics has fairly good thermoforming characteristics.  It is much more susceptible to surface dulling and yellowing than acrylic.

UV-resistant Polycarbonate offers exceptional weather ability and an improvement clarity and color stability.
