ng the custom color and color matching policy. COLOR MATCHING. We offer color-matching service for your new designs and ideas. Certain minimum quantity and other requirements may apply depending on specific needs. CUSTOM COLOR POLICY Plastiglas de Mexico has experienced a spiraling cost to develop colors for potential orders that do not occur. These costs occur for both new custom colors and existing colors in thicknesses not offered previously. Accordingly Plastiglas is joining other acrylic sheet suppliers enabling us to continue our excellent color matching program to be available to our customers at very competitive prices on a shared cost basis. CUSTOM COLOR MATCHING 1. Plastiglas de Mexico will initially search its color bank for identical or very close matches for customer approval to avoid development costs. 2. If a satisfactory existing color is unavailable we will reproduce the particular color. The color development process requires approximately 6 to 8 weeks lead-time depending on our backlog. To initiate the color development process the minimum volume required is of 2500 pounds one standard pallet -10 batch production. For subsequent orders of the same item i.e. the same color in the identical sized thickness will require minimum batch volume and multiples according to chart A 7 ADDITIONAL SERVICES 3. If a special project calls for a minimum number of sheets an overrun is likely. 4. Please refer to your current Custom Colors Price list for initial and subsequent orders. 5. Cancellation Policy. An approved matched custom color order cancellation is subject to a 100 cancellation charge. COLOR DEVELOPMENT Each new thickness andor size with an existing color is in effect a new custom color requiring different volumes of colorants to achieve the same appearance thus incurring additional development costs. The primary cost is in demonstrating that the item can actually be produced outside the color laboratory by the factory. Our policy is intended to a

void wasted investment on speculative inquiries that have a high probability of not occurring. 1 Minimum volume for a color that requires factory demonstration is 2500 pounds with production of - 10 batch production. Subsequent orders for the same item i.e. the same color in the identical size and thickness will require minimum batch volume and multiples according to following chart A CHART A SIZE THICKNESS 0.060- 0.236 48 X 72 48X96 51X100 60X96 72X96 75X100 40 20 36 18 26 13 Number in parenthesis indicates the number of sheets per batch. This helps you to adjust your minimum to order. Example for one order of 48x96 0.118 it requires a minimum volume of 36 54 72 pieces and subsequent multiples. The variation of - 10 for this example will be 36 pieces 32 - 40 sheets 54 pieces 49 - 60 sheets 72 pieces 65 - 79 sheets etc. 2 Prices a For an initial order of an existing color development starting from 0.060 -.236 your price would be regular color price as per your current price list. b For an initial order of an existing color development from thickness .354 - 1.250 your price would be considered as a custom color as per your current price list. 3 Cancellation Policy. An approved and demonstrated color order cancellation is subject to a 100 Cancellation charge. 8 IMPORTANT Plastiglas de Mxico S.A. de C.V. has prepared this document to provide information about the product but does not assume any legal responsibility for the suggestions and data provided which are based in information true and offered in good will without warranty.
