King ColorCore® the very popular, versatile, environmentally stabilized sheet with contrasting colors ideal for engraving.
Now Available for Upgrade with King FlameShield for our ASTM E-84 Class A or B Flame/Smoke Compliance and CAN/ULC-S102 for Canadian Compliance
King ColorCore® is environmentally stabilized high-density polyethylene which has been developed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions. It can be used in wet areas that need to be washed often for cleaning, or are regularly exposed to moisture. It can be fabricated using common woodworking tools and techniques. Its thin cap layers and bright primary colors make it ideal for signage, marine, playground and recreational applications. For maximum versatility, standard colors are made to coordinate with King ColorBoard®. We have improved King ColorCore® so it is now easier than ever to engrave. We have made the cap consistent in thickness for all three gauges of King ColoCore®, for a very uniform appearance. So when your project calls for different gauges of material, you can be confident the at your engravings will have the same quality look from sheet to sheet. Base materials are FDA approved as are most pigments. It is made with high-impact-resistant polymer to handle more abuse than conventional sign materials. King ColorCore is a superior homogeneous sheet, made with a unique state-of-the-art continuous process called PolyFusion®. It is manufactured to the highest standards in the industry.

Protect Your Interests with E-84 Class A or B Flame Rated Polymer Sheets from King Plastic Corporation The ASTM E84 This test method is intended to compare the surface flame spread and smoke developed measurements to those obtained from the tests of mineral fiber cement board and select grade red oak flooring. The results are expressed as Flame Spread Index and Smoke Developed Index. Results Class B Interior Finish: *Note: These images illustrate the various color combinations. Due to the wide variances in computer monitors and printers, King Plastic Corporation does not recommend using these graphics for color matching purposes. Please contact your distributor for details.
