thing of the past. Theres no

Because of its better lmpact
resistance, P lV can stand up to
plenty of rouoh hand inct. And tests
show it can a so stand up to heat
and chemicals without any
dlscoloration or fading. P lV keeps
rts whrteness through years of
contlnuous pedormance with a
m n mum of maintenance.

These pre-aged samp es
have been baked at 350
degrees Fahrenheit for 30
minutes. The P lV and Acrylic
are virtually unchanged, but
the Alkyd shows its aging by
yellowing and general
discoloration.
