- VIS and Wayside Hardware Specification Manual Request for Quote Soo Locks Wayside Exhibit Panels and Bases Deliverables: Panels: The contractor shall fabricate and deliver 16 high pressure laminate panels with a thickness of.090 inches for the Soo Area Office as described in the specifications below. PDFs of panel artwork for illustration purposes are attached, original hi-res artwork will be provided within 10 days of contract award. Specifications: High pressure laminate graphic sign material shall be composed of several layers of phenolic (opaque) resin impregnated kraft filler paper collated to a thickness from.090" and, surfaced by a layer of coated inkjet graphic image substrate, digitally imaged with ultra-violet (UV) resistant, pigment based process color inks, two UV resistant melamine (clear) overlay sheets, with a modified acrylock overlay for further UV resistance and hardness, which has been pre-consolidated with an industrial optical coating. The optical top coating assures UV resistance of over 97% of all harmful UV rays and further tempers the surface to resist vandalism and provides a surface that accommodates easy cleaning of graffiti without degrading the graphic surface. Layers of material shall be assembled and heat/pressure consolidated in laminate presses at approximately 1300 PSF at temperatures exceeding 295 degrees Fahrenheit. Once cooled, the paper shall completely absorb the melamine to assure a solid thermoset plastic. Fourcolor CMYK images shall be printed on an ink jet printer using ultraviolet resistant pigmented inks. Images shall be printed on a specially formulated substrate capable of HPL embedment. The print shall be fullsize all the way to the edges of the panel. Full-size paper proofs and 8" x 10" pressed sections printed in the actual color to be used in production shall be submitted to the Government Representative for review and approval prior to embedment. The minimum requirements for the inkjet printer shall be 600 dpi image resolution with an output width capable of printing a 36" x 48" image in a single section. All completed panels shall be trimmed 1/8" under nominal dimensions indicated in the scope of work with a tolerance of +/- of 1/32". Panels shall be able to withstand temperatures from -65° f. to 350°f. The panels shall have a minimum Barcol hardness factor of 50, tensile strength of 12,000 psi, compressive strength of 20,000 psi, and flexural strength of 18,000 psi, minimum impact strength shall be 6 gt lbs/in notch with a fire resistance of 500°f. The face shall not be permanently defaced by seam, acid aromatics, scratching, inks, or paints and should be readily wiped clean with paint remover and solvents without affecting the appearance or legibility of finish or graphics. Face shall retain legibility and finished appearance when sprayed with a 10% solution of hydrochloric, nitric, or sulfuric acid for one half-hour or when scrubbed by a brush or medium hardness using common commercial cleaning compounds such as ammonia, laundry soaps, detergents, carbon tetrachloride, or petroleum based solvents.
