NOTES:
- Enviro-Plast is dark
in colour. Special additives as well as its dark colour render
the product very resistant to ultraviolet (UV) penetration.
- Enviro-Plast also
contains additives which moderate the spread of flames.
- The above mentioned
results are for indicative purposes, thus allowing comparison
with other materials.
- A slight color fading
of the Enviro-Plast lumber, when exposed to sunlight, is normal
and does not harm the product.
One 10" Enviro-Plast
plank will lengthen or shorten by ¼" with an increase or decrease
in
temperature by 20 C.
