Protective Coatings for Pole Sign and Pylon Sign Faces
SolarGuard™ Plastic Protection for a Longer Lasting Sign
Pole or pylon plastic sign faces that don’t
fade or “yellow” for 5 years because of internal UV protection is a step in the right
direction, but your sign needs to look nearly as good 10
to 15 years from now as it looks the day it is installed;
or you need to plan to replace it often so that your
potential customers do not get the wrong impression of
your business.
The longevity and appearance of
plastic face materials and graphics are extended when they
are coated with SolarGuard™, a special, clear,
high-gloss, mar-resistant topcoat which protects plastics
from ultraviolet light and ozone so that they last longer,
just like your eyeglasses have UV coatings to protect the
plastic lens.
Signs Manufacturing is an authorized
SolarGuard™ applicator.
You won’t have dull, dingy plastic
faces on your sign if we manufactured it.
Signs Manufacturing adds
SolarGuard™ protection to every plastic-faced sign.
Does SolarGuard™ Protection
Work? The face on the right was made of
“generic” red acrylic and black trim-cap. The left
half was coated with SolarGuard™ and the face was left
outside for ONLY 7 years; your sign will be out there much
longer!

Lumabrite™ Optical Brighteners for
a Better Looking Sign
Just as coated lenses in binoculars
increase the light gathering ability of the lens, the
special Lumabrite™ coatings we use increase the brightness
of our plastic-faced signs.
Also, Lumabrite™ reduces maintenance
because of built-in self-cleaning properties.
As an added bonus Lumabrite™ also
makes the sign face(s) more reflective when the sign is
not lighted!
This products inspiration was for the plastic lens industry.
Our people are factory-trained in the
application of Lumabrite™.
Signs Manufacturing adds Lumabrite™
coatings to every plastic-faced sign.
OptiGard™ Flexible Sign Face
Protection and a Better Appearance
 Flexible
sign faces that don’t fade, rot, split, or mildew for 7
years is a step in the right direction, but your sign
needs to look nearly as good 10 to 15 years from now as it
looks the day it is installed; or you need to plan to
replace it often so that your potential customers do not
get the wrong impression of your business.
The lifetime of flexible sign faces
and graphics, as well as their appearance, is extended
when protected with a clear, high-gloss, mar-resistant
OptiGard™ topcoat which protects plastics from ultraviolet
light and
ozone so that they last longer, and reduces maintenance
because of built-in self-cleaning properties.
Signs Manufacturing is the only
factory-authorized OptiGard™ source in Northeast Texas.
You won’t have dull, dingy, dirty
faces like the sign on the right if we manufactured it.
 Signs
Manufacturing adds OptiGard™ protection to every
flexible-faced sign.
See the
difference between protected and unprotected (yellowed)
flexible sign faces? This test material was left
outside for 7 years. (This product does not come from the traditional sign industry. Few sign companies know about it, or where to get it.)
SolarGuard™ and OptiGard™
Protection
Nothing looks worse than a sign with
its lettering peeling off. To prevent this we
overcoat your graphics with clear SolarGuard™ or
OptiGard™ solar protection, depending on the material they
are adhered to, so that they will last.
Protection Against Vandalism
The unique clear coats Signs
Manufacturing applies over vinyl lettering and graphics
are also formulated to remove one remaining objection
knowledgeable consumers have to the use of vinyl on sign
faces.
We have all seen signs where vandals
have peeled-off lettering to make the sign imply something
else, or simply to deface them.
When your sign is vandalized it must
be replaced so that it effectively represents your
business; even if the sign is simply a listing of “Pool
Rules.”
While it is probably “technically”
possible to remove lettering and deface a sign we
manufactured with SolarGuard™, OptiGard™
and/or Lumabrite™ protection we are not aware of anyone,
ever, having done so.
