Does Arlon carry Wall graphics with permanent adhesive that meets type II wall covering requirement?

We don't test our vinyl is not tested for Federal Spec CCC-W-408

Excerpt from commercial wall decor website.
Type II wallcoverings are commercial contract grade wallcoverings with a 20 Oz. weight. Commercial wallcoverings are produced specifically for use in hotels, apartment buildings, office buildings, schools and hospitals, and other businesses. Type II 20 oz. wallcovering vinyl is typically used in high-traffic/public areas, foyers, lounges, corridors, offices, hospital wards and classrooms. They are manufactured to meet or surpass minimum physical and performance characteristics set forth in Federal Specifications CCC-W-408, and are classified by flame spread and smoke development based on ASTM E 84 Steiner Tunnel tests or NFPA 286, using the corner burn test.

By law, to qualify as a Type II wallcovering, according to CCC-W-408D specifications, a vinyl needs to meet or exceed a specific requirement in:

  • Wash-ability
  • Scrub-ability
  • Abrasion Resistance
  • Breaking Strength
  • Crocking (the tendency of a fabric or paint to give off color when the surface is rubbed, in this case wallcovering)
  • Stain Resistance
  • Tear Resistance
  • Blocking Resistance
  • Coating Adhesion
  • Cold Crack Resistance

  • Color Fastness
