Q:
Hi, I'm making my own binder cover and was wondering what's the best way to get a clean, straight edge fold on this sheet? Should I gently score a line with a craft knife first, or will that weaken it and cause it to tear? Thanks
A:
Hi Benjamin,
Thank you for your question, you can cold crease the sheets by just folding them. You should not need to score it with a craft knife.
Best Regards
Cullen

Q:
Why must this material be stored at a temp. of 20 degrees C up to 25 degrees C at least 24 hours before printing? I want to offset print on this from a plywood relief block with AKUA intaglio water washable inks in my studio at home. My studio does not reach this temperature!
Asked by: Doreen E H Wells
A:
Hi Doreen, I have checked with our supplier today regarding the reason for this and they have advised the following: The reason for the polypropylene to be left for 24 hours before printing is so the material can normalise and be ready for printing due to circumstances such as, when left overnight with carriers which can make the material cooler and in some cases cause the material to crack.
As such if the material has been allowed to return to the normal temperature in the working environment it could be ok to use, however we would always recommend following any recommendation by manufactures.

Q:
Please could you explain what an "orange emboss (anti glare) finish" is? Does it effect the colour of the transmitted light?
Asked by: Jonathan
A:
Hi Jonathan, The colour of the light isn't altered however it is diffused, so it is a soft glow that appears through the sheet rather than a direct light source. The anti-glare listed will relate to creating this soft glow and prevents the light being bright.

Q:
What is the fire rating of this material? You mention it can be used for making lamps but is it fire retardand/certified?
Asked by: Alex
A:
Hi Alex, The datasheet and material datasheet for the product supplied by the manufacture state that the melting point is around 160°C, with the Vicat softening point being around 145°C. Unfortunately this is the only data we have regarding the material and heat.
