Applications for the EOD127 gasoline vapour sign

The EOD127 sign can be installed near a fuel area, a room where gasoline vapours may accumulate, a repair shop, a storage cabinet or a transfer area. It helps remind people that ignition sources are prohibited and that internal instructions should be followed before entering, moving a container, using equipment or performing work nearby.

Material choice for a flammable vapour sign

Choosing a sign depends on the right material, reading distance, work environment and required format. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces, especially indoors. Plastic can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV light. Aluminum is often recommended outdoors or in areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
