Sign channel recommendations
Dibond Traffic Sheet has a very good tensile strength and impact resistance. The nature of
Dibond Traffic is that it is more flexible than Aluminium. To obtain the best use and service
life, it is recommended that the support rails, which provide stiffening, are fixed every
300mm - 400mm depending on the panel size.
• Sign channel should be fixed a minimum of 30mm from the edge of the sign
• When fixing sign channel by means of a non-penetrating rivet system, a maximum
spacing of 150mm should be allowed

Clean and degrease the surfaces
with 100% isopropyl alcohol. The
surfaces must be clean, dry and
free of moisture, condensation,
grease, dust and any other
contaminants.
Prime both the surface and the
channel using a suitable primer,
following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Whilst handling the tape, ensure that
the adhesive surface of the tape is not
touched as this could cause crosscontamination and transfer of oils
from the skin to the adhesive.
Apply the tape to the surface using
a squeegee or preferably a roller to
ensure a good, even pressure. This is
key to ensure full adhesion of the tape
to the surface.
We recommend leaving the finished
product at least 24 hours prior to
fitting to ensure the best adhesion of
the tape to the product surface.
