Acrylic thermoforming is widely used for transparent covers, displays, signs, lighting components and other plastic parts where optical clarity and surface appearance are important.Acrylic, also known as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), can be heated until flexible and then formed over or into a mold
-
HIPS thermoforming is widely used for trays, packaging inserts, appliance components, point-of-purchase displays and other products where manufacturers need a material that is easy to form, reasonably tough and cost-efficient.HIPS stands for High Impact Polystyrene.
-
PETG thermoforming is widely used when a plastic part needs a combination of clarity, impact resistance, detailed forming and good material distribution.PETG, or polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified, is a transparent copolyester commonly supplied as plastic sheet.
-
ABS thermoforming is widely used to manufacture plastic housings, automotive interior parts, equipment covers, appliance components and other durable formed products.ABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, combines good impact strength, rigidity, surface quality and relatively easy thermoforming.
-
Choosing the right thermoforming material is one of the most important decisions in a plastic forming project.The plastic sheet must not only soften and form correctly. It also needs to provide the required clarity, impact strength, stiffness, heat resistance, chemical resistance and finished appear
