LUMAsite^® general-purpose panels incorporate fiberglass reinforcement (about 25% by weight) and acrylic polymer. The GP panel in 1/4" thickness classifies as a CC 2 material, which means that it exhibits a burning rate of less that 2 1/2 inches per minute when tested by the ASTM D-635 method.

LUMAsite^® fire retardant panels incorporate the same amount of fiberglass reinforcement, and are not readily distinguished from GP panels. However, the acrylic resin is modified to impart fire retardance using an innovative system that also results in low smoke development.

LUMAsite^® fire retardant panels classify as a CC 1 material, which means that they self extinguish when tested by the ASTM D-635 method.

In addition, fire-retardant panels in 1/8" thickness fall into a Class C category (NFPA 255), which means they exhibit a flame spread of less than 200 and a smoke development of less than 450 when tested by the ASTM E 84 method. Actual test values for White 1000 SOS FR in 1/8" thickness were 185 (flame spread) and 175(smoke development).

It is also relevant to note that LUMAsite^® panels (both GP and FR) do not drip resin or burning polymer during these tests. Although these test results do not reflect the behaviors of LUMAsite^® sheets and diffusers in all fire situations, these results can be helpful to material specifiers and code authorities.

Note that this information applies to reinforced acrylic varieties of LUMAsite^® sheets and diffusers, including the Frost-SOS, Parchment-SOS, Rice-SOS and White 1000-SOS diffuser varieties. This information does not apply to "Crystal" varieties of LUMAsite^® sheets.

Translucent face panels complete with EXIT graphics (including choice of arrow configurations) are manufactured in 6-inch and 8-inch letter height. The face panels are manufactured by the embedment process. Panels incorporate red graphics on a white background. Typical panel size is 10"x14"x.090 for 8 inch letter height; 7"x11"x.090 for 6 inch letter height.

Near-clear Crystal II sheets are acrylic-modified panels that exhibit shatter proof toughness and outdoor durability.

Crystal II panels are used in glazing applications requiring high light transmission and superior impact strength. Panels are available with micrograin gloss, matte, and pebbled surfaces. The standard micrograin gloss is a medium-reflectivity smooth glossy surface that contributes less diffusion than the matte or pebbled surfaces.

Crystal II panels are also used as translucent backgrounds for illuminated signs. Crystal II panels can be decorated on the first or second surface, using vinyl film, paint or silk-screening methods.

Embedments - By embedding various materials into the panel when casting reinforced acrylic modified polyester panels, new vistas are opened to the specifier. Woven cane-like embedments with a natural look include Coco Reed, Rattan and Kane. Honeycomb and Black Lace are knitted fabric embedments with a contemporary look.

Diamond design (DD3448) is the designation given to an embedment panel incorporating 3/4" x 1-1/2" expanded aluminum mesh, resulting in a panel with toughness, rigidity and resistance to penetration. At the same time, the diamond-shaped openings form an attractive pattern that allows generous passage of light.

Embedment of special papers printed with graphic seals the graphics into the panel. Once cast into fiberglass, the sign, display, or decorative panel exhibits superior toughness, durability and vandal-resistance. Common applications for graphic embedments include industrial and safety signage, transit sign panels and interpretive panels for parks, zoos and museums.
