HPL (HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATES). Known traditionally as “traffolye”

Traffolyte, Rigid engraving laminate, Phenolic, Eurosign, Formica  and Abet

HPL or Traffolyte engraving laminates used for clean line, easy-to-read, minimum maintenance interior signs with applications ranging from Identification and Warning signs and industrial and commercial complexes, to Directory Slats and valve tags.....
Traffolite is available in a sheet size of 1220 x 610mm in two thickness 1.5mm or 3mm .

This material is immune to solvents and is heat resistant, finishes are excellent and the silver is a great substitute for anodised aluminium and the gold for brush finish brass

It is a phenolic resin sandwich type material and comes in most colours.

ANODISED ALUMINIUM EN AW 5005 AA15 Al 0.9Mg

Aluminium's ability to respond to anodising makes it an important metal. The fact that Aluminium can be made in attractive, durable and tough finish makes it adaptable to a wide range of applications. Anodising is a conversion of the metal ,which creates a protective inert film of Aluminium oxide. This film will not crack, peel, or chip unless subject to severe stress or extreme thermal changes

The Anodising process is Electro-chemical in which the natural oxide film is created by passing an electric current through dilute Sulphuric Acid with the Aluminium part as the anode. The anodised film created is microscopically porous, which needs "sealing" in either boiling water with a simple soap addition or some of the newer seal additives.
The full process usually involves a chemical pre-clean, followed by immersing the products in a chemical to give the required finish. Phosphoric Acid solutions giving a bright finish and a caustic soda based solution, giving a matt appearance

Anodising also provides a means of colouring the oxidised metal. Anodic films are coloured by a variety of methods. Pigments and organic or inorganic dyes are dissolved in heated water and the products immersed prior to sealing while they are still porous. The colour is then sealed in place by the usual method. The more durable coloured films necessary in exposed environments can be produced as part of the anodic layer and are quite permanent a matt appearance
