What is Photopolymer Photopolymer is a photo- sensitive synthetic compound that hardens when exposed to an ultraviolet light source. Photopolymer is available in both liquid and sheet form. It has a number of applications that span a multitude of industries ² ranging from flexographic printing to rubber stamps to signage.
What is Photopolymer It ZDVQ路W until the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1992 that photopolymer rose to prominence in the sign industry. The new ADA regulations had a major impact on tactile signage requiring all public facilities to meet specific codes and regulations as discussed in the previous section. Photopolymer was an instant fit as the ADA laws required all room identification signage to have Braille and Tactile characters 1/32碌 off the base material.
Processing Photopolymer For Architectural Signage
Computer generated artwork is produced by software that conforms to current ADA guidelines, outputs to a film negative which is placed on the surface of the photopolymer sheet in the processing unit then exposed to ultraviolet light ² hardening the raised area. :RUNIORZ 0DQDJHU ÂŒ Braille
