| Adhesive System
Belbien's pressure-sensitive adhesive
actually increases in bond strength over time and makes Belbien
perfect for resurfacing non-porous substrates such as high-pressure
laminates, steel, aluminum, melamine and other similar surfaces.
Fire and Smoke Ratings
Belbien received a "Class A" fire
and smoke development rating as tested by Underwriter's
Laboratories, Inc. These ratings are tested in accordance with
UL-723 and ASTM E-84 standards.
This quality makes Belbien the
perfect solution for renovating elevator cabs and other areas where
strict fire and smoke development ratings are required.
Exterior Applications
Belbien EX can be applied to steel,
metal and "glassboard" surfaces on the exterior of building
structures. The surface must be smooth and solid.
Belbien EX also features and
anti-corrosive film layer that makes it resistant to direct UV
sunlight, rain, snow, ice, smog and other perils of nature.
Durability and Repairability
Belbien assumes the impact
properties of the substrate to which it is applied.
Belbien EX is often specified for
interior application where extra durability is demanded for stain
resistance, i.e. permanent markers and food preparation areas.
It is also specified for areas
which may be exposed to strong solvents such as Toluene, Methyl
Ethyl Ketone, Ethyl Acetate and Acetone.
Belbien can be repaired easily when
installed on a smooth, solid, non-porous substrate. Small
damaged areas can be patched or an entire strip can be removed and
restored with a new one. Belbien can also be installed over
Belbien with proper preparation.
Width and Length
Belbien's width and length (4' x
164') are helpful when installing projects such as tall columns,
long reception counters, facades and wall panels where minimal or no
seams are required.
Weight
Belbien weighs significantly less
than most decorative surfacing materials. When weight is a
factor, such as on trade show exhibits, elevator cabs and marble
partitions, Belbien is an excellent solution.
Thickness
Belbien's thickness is only .006".
It can be applied to such projects as elevator doors, store fixtures
and doors without affecting the operation of moving parts.
Flexibility
Belbien can be easily applied to
curved objects such as round columns, concave and convex shapes.
It will conform easily around 90 degree corners such as on store
fixtures or wall panels.
Conformability
Belbien interior and exterior
patterns may be stretched and conformed to selected three
dimensional projects. These types of applications are
intricate and often time consuming. However, they offer a
unique solution to a variety of architectural and design challenges.
Graphic Capability
Customized graphic designs are made
possible by computer design and cutting technology. This
feature permits clients to create custom logos and other designs for
specialized applications such as elevator doors, reception desk
facades and wall panels. |
