Frequently asked questions
What makes Type B different from Type A for hazardous substances?
Type A applies to general hazardous substance areas with standard procedures. Type B marks restricted zones where only trained, authorised personnel may enter or handle materials.
Should I use reflective finishes for indoor chemical storage?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
How do I ensure signs remain visible in harsh chemical environments?
Choose Colorbond steel with lamination for maximum resistance to chemical splash and fumes. Polypropylene also resists most solvents; confirm compatibility with your specific substances.
Are signs rated for use in explosive atmospheres?
Standard signs are not rated for ATEX explosive zones. If you work in a classified explosive atmosphere, contact us—we can source specialist signage.
What is the cost difference between materials?
Corflute is most economical; polypropylene costs slightly more; vinyl is mid-range; Colorbond steel is premium but lasts longest. Request a quote for your size and material preference.
