Polyurethane Doming
With polyurethane doming your logo and graphics are sealed beneath our tough plastic. The dome provides protection for the graphics - protection from
scratching and abrasion, dirt, and moisture. Your logo's good looks are protected for the life of the product.
VisionMark domed nameplates and logos have become a popular alternative for many product identification applications. These domed graphics add a distinctive
look to any product.
In addition, tough new polyurethane materials and improved manufacturing processes have made domed graphics both durable and cost-effective.
VisionMark domed graphics can be found in many applications and markets including electronics, fire apparatus, medical equipment, cabinetry,
golf clubs, marine, and automotive.

sensitive to UV radiation. In addition there may be some evidence of "chalking" in the urethane.
