What is UPVC?

UPVC Traffic Sign has been added to HR Groep Streetcare's standard supply package. The product feature concerns the carrier, the sign is made of recycled plastic.

The backing sheets, which are separated from the retroreflective material when traffic signs are applied, are incorporated into UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride). The U in UPVC stands for Unplasticized, which means "without plasticizers." UPVC traffic signs are offered in the US20 variant. "US" stands for Ultimate Signing, which is highly recommended by the Dutch traffic sign industry trade association (VNVF).

With about 90% recycled material, we are cleaning up the world!
