Thermoform Glass Into Abs Sheet

A second opening for thermoforming springs from improvements in combinations of abs sheet with a weatherable cap layer that can provide high quality even class a decorative performance.

Thermoform glass into abs sheet.

Many packaging suppliers make the sheet and thermoform it into the required pack shape while some packer fillers thermoform trays from a pre supplied reel of sheet material place the product into it and heat seal a flexible lid onto the tray all on one machine. The heated sheet is stretched into shape on the mold surface. This is the simplest thermoforming technique. Since most stretch forming operations don t involve a lot of stretching wall thickness of the final part is relatively uniform.

Abs thermoform plastic sheets due to its low cost and superior physical properties abs acrylonitrile butadine styrene is one of the most popular thermoform plastics used for vacuum forming. During the molding process itself a sheet is clamped into a frame that holds it like a piece of glass in a window frame. The frame moves into an oven that heats the sheet to a high temperature commonly between 350 and 400 degrees. At that temperature the sheet becomes quite rubbery and will stretch with ease.

This selection of materials are best known for their excellent formability in addition to their individual traits of toughness chemical resistance and heat resistance for example. As the sheet touches the mold surface it cools down causing that part to stop drawing. Once the sheet is heated the container can be formed using different methods.
