GENERAL FAQs.

What Is Veritas?
Veritas is a line of decorative resin panels manufactured by Schneller LLC. Veritas ResinArt Panels are made of an environmentally-friendly proprietary polyester-based resin created specifically for Veritas by Eastman Chemical Company. Veritas ResinArt Panels can be shaped and formed to meet your exact specifications.

What colors, textures and sizes can I choose from?
You can choose standard PMS^® colors and standard surface textures and standard interlayer materials. Veritas ResinArt Panels come in standard sheet sizes of 4' x 8' and 4' x 10' with gauges ranging from 1/16" to 1/2". You can also special order your own Veritas ResinArt Panels with an encapsulated interlayer material of your choice.

What is encapsulated inside Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas ResinArt Panels feature a wide range of encapsulated materials called interlayers. We offer a wide selection of stylish interlayer materials including colors, textiles, botanicals and prints that complement today's architectural designs. You can also provide your own interlayer materials for a truly customized special order Veritas ResinArt Panel. Contact you local sales rep to determine if the interlayer materials you choose can be encapsulated.

Can I special order Veritas ResinArt Panels to meet my specific design needs?
Yes. You can choose the texture, interlayer material, color gauge and shape of your ResinArt Panels. Our designers and engineers will help you create exactly what you are looking for. To find out how to special order your own sample, call (1-877-411-8008).

Do you accept small orders?
Yes. Our minimum order is (1) 4'x8' sheet. Our advanced manufacturing processes allow us to deliver small orders with ease.

Can I receive a sample before I place an order?
Yes! You can receive the Veritas Intro Kit, the Veritas Idea Kit, in-stock samples or create your own samples with the Veritas Create-A-Sample Tool. You can even design a special order sample by providing your own interlayer materials or a digital image.

How can I use Veritas ResinArt Panels in my designs?
Veritas ResinArt Panels can be used in flat or formed applications. It's an excellent way to add a touch of style and inspiration to any design.

• Wall Panels	• Doors	• Reception Counters
• Floor-To-Ceiling	• Light Fixtures	• Bar Panels
• Sidelights	• Ceilings	• Bar Tops
• Workstations	• Partitions	• POS Shelving
• Balustrades	• Screens	• Feature Wall
• Transoms	• Cabinet Doors	• Furniture
• Closet Doors	• Signage	• Whiteboards
• Back Splashes	• And much more

Do Veritas ResinArt Panels scratch easily?
No. Veritas ResinArt Panels can be specified with a hard coating for additional abrasion resistance. Even without the hard coating, textured Veritas ResinArt Panels are remarkably scratch resistant.

FORMING AND FABRICATING FAQs.

Can you change the shape of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Yes, Veritas ResinArt Panels can be easily formed. However, Veritas ResinArt Panels that are specified with an extra-hard coating for additional abrasion resistance can not be formed. Only uncoated Veritas ResinArt Panels can be formed. Contact your local Veritas Rep if you are uncertain if your Veritas ResinArt Panels are manufactured with a hard coating. Always test a small sample prior to fabrication of your production sheets.

Can you vacuum form Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Some Veritas ResinArt Panels are more suitable for vacuum forming than others. Although the Veritas resin is easily formable, some interlayer materials may prevent the resin panel from forming. Avoid vacuum forming Veritas ResinArt™ Panels that feature a hard coating for abrasion resistance. Veritas is best suited for vacuum forming into shallow, subtle molds. Vacuum forming textured sheets will affect the uniformity of the sheet texture. For complete details, see Veritas Fabricating and Forming Guide.

What tools do you use to fabricate Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas ResinArt Panels are cut using standard woodworking circular saws, saber saws, jigsaws and routers. Refer to the Veritas Fabricating and Forming Guide for a complete list of tools and cutting tips.

What hardware is recommended for securing Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas offers a complete line of stainless steel hardware that works seamlessly with our Veritas ResinArt Panels. You can create your own unique way of securing Veritas ResinArt Panels with bolts, adhesives, hooks, clamps, brackets, stand-off systems, cable systems, edge grips, anchors and bases. The choice is yours!

Can Veritas ResinArt Panels accept shearing, punching and die-cutting?
Yes. Veritas ResinArt Panels are made of a tough but ductile material and are readily sheared, punched and die-cut when proper tools and techniques are used. Refer to the Veritas Fabricating and Forming Guide for more details.

Can Veritas ResinArt Panels be bonded with adhesives?
Solvent-bonding is generally preferred when joining two pieces of Veritas ResinArt Panels. When joining a Veritas product to a dissimilar material, there are many factors to consider when choosing the best adhesive. In some cases, mechanical bonding may be required. Recommended adhesives to use with Veritas ResinArt™ Panels can be found in the Veritas Fabricating and Forming Guide.

TECHNICAL FAQs.

What are the fire test results of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas ResinArt Panels have earned the following flammability classifications:

The chart below is based on actual results of encapsulated Veritas ResinArt Panels and is designed to reflect the properties of the Veritas resin only. Test results may vary due to encapsulated material used.

Test Method	Rating	Test Result
ASTM D 2843-99 Smoke Density Rating	PASS	55.4% density vs. 75% max allowable
ASTM D 635-98 Combustion Rating	PASS	CC1 rating (burn less than 1" min)
ASTM D 1929-96 Self-Ignition Temperature	PASS	725° F vs. 650° F minimum
NFPA 286 Corner Room Test	Pass up to 1/4"	Equivalent to class A
UL723 / ASTM E84 Tunnel Test		Surface Burning Characteristics
Class B		Flame Spread 30 vs. 75 maximum
		Smoke Generation 70 vs. 450 maximum

What are the by-products of combustion of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas ResinArt Panels are comprised almost entirely of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules (> 99.9 wt%). When incinerated or burned in the presence of sufficient oxygen to fully balance the combustion reaction, the products of combustion are carbon dioxide and water.

What are the sound transmission ratings of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas ResinArt Panels tested to determine the Sound Transmission Class (STC) complied with ASTM E 90-90, Classification E 413-87. Results show that 3 mm (0.118 in.) Veritas ResinArt Panels would have an STC value of 24 dB. Veritas ResinArt Panel values will vary by gauge, for a complete rating chart, refer to the Sound Transmission section of the Veritas Gauges Guide.

What is the cold-bending radii of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Cold-bending a sheet more than 2.5 mm (0.100 in.) thick will likely cause high stress levels, which may lead to part failure. When cold-bending, use the general recommendation of radius equals 100 x thickness of sheet. Refer to the Cold Bending section in the Veritas Fabricating and Forming Guide.

What is the impact resistance of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Veritas ResinArt Panels have been designed to provide very high-impact resistance. In general, the material is ductile rather than fractile when the panels do fail. For complete details refer to the Veritas Typical Properties Guide.

What is the deflection rating of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
For complete deflection reference chart in the Veritas Gauges Guide.

What is the channel depth of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
For complete channel depth reference chart of the Veritas Gauges Guide.

What are the sheet sizes and tolerances of Veritas ResinArt Panels?
Standard sheet sizes are 4' x 8' and 4' x 10' +/- 1/8" tolerance. Refer to the Veritas Gauges Guide.
