AppleSkin™

The certified bio-based figure is a ceiling across the range, not a per-grade guarantee, and the backing changes between grades while often being left off the specification sheet you are shown. Ask which grade your quotation actually covers.

Known Limits

Documented Constraints & Untested Conditions

The certified bio-based figure is an upper bound across the range, not a guarantee for every grade — ask which grade your quotation covers. Backing composition changes between grades and is often omitted from the specification sheet you are shown.

No independent test record on file. Material Primer has not bench-tested this product. The figures above are the supplier’s own published specification. Treat them as a starting point for your own testing, not as verified performance.

Verification Boundary -- What This Page Does Not Claim

This dossier compiles the supplier's published specification, the stated scope of certificates held, and referenced standards. It does not represent independent laboratory testing, production batch monitoring, or transaction data. Suitability judgements derive from the documents above, not from bench tests.
