I have a question on the different brands of PVC sheets

Ok, I have a question as far as different brands of PVC sheets.

Looking at the different "brands", there is Komacel, Komacel Plus, Komatex, Ex-cel FF, and Ex-cel IF.

What is the difference in the different materials? Is one better to use on exterior usage, interior usage, printability, longevity, etc.

I am looking to do a flat sign, for exterior usage, that is only 24" x 24", painted a medium green, with a single pole in the center. I am going to use 3/4" (19mm), and want to make sure that I use the correct material for the best results.

Thanks in advance.

All I know is that the GLOSS WHITE PVC is denser than the matte white, for bigger exterior signs, we always use the gloss white.

I think most people will recommend using the denser material for exterior signs, the foamy matte stuff is more for interior and very short-term projects.
