Whether you screen print it, use a flatbed digital printer, or simply use without printing, Hot Metal laminate has the ability to enhance many applications within the display industry.
Stewart Rienecker, CEO of Hot Metal told Wide Format Online that the product was developed to offer the design and signage industries a versatile, functional and durable metal laminate for various applications.
He said, "Using our patented technology we are able to combine aluminium, brilliant translucent colours and handcrafted patterns to create striking dimensional effects that respond to light. It is designed to work with lighting systems but also works wonders simply in well lit areas receiving good daylight. When viewed from different angles, Hot Metal offers exciting dimensional illusions. The result is a contemporary and powerful visual effect that brings character, impact and attention to signage. It is a surface finish that changes its appearance as the viewer moves. It offers movement, texture and dimension. It comes in a range of trend colours that can be combined with a choice of expressive patterns to create focus and attention."
Stewart mentioned identity signage, logos, symbols, way-finding, directory signage, price points and point of display as just some of the many applications that are ideal for Hot Metal. "The advantages are that it can be worked with ease and it is cost-effective which is why sign designers frequently specify our product." he continued.
"Added advantages are that it is lightweight, flexible and easy to cut as well as laser etched, engraved, screen printed and easily profiled by a CNC router machine. It can be laminated to a number of substrates including MDF, plywood, particle boards, and decorative plastics."
Hot Metal has been fire rated as safe by CSIRO.
