Thibra Moldable Thermoplastic Sheet, 13.4 X 21.6 (1/8 of aFull size sheet) THIB13

Product Information

Technical Brief 150-A, Technical Brief 150-B, Technical Brief 150-C, Technical Brief 150-D, and Technical Brief 150-Eprovide detailed information on the correct adhesives, solvent cements, and tapes to use with KYDEX® sheet. Pressure Forming: The pressure forming process similarly involves the heating of the plastic sheet and utilizing a vacuum to pull air away to force the sheet against a mold. But there’s an extra step. A pressing tool applies pressure once the air is removed to ensure the shaped plastic better maintains its final shape. Pressure forming is used when higher levels of details are required from the thermoforming process. KYDEX® sheet is resistant to a broad range of disinfectant cleaners.

Are KYDEX® Thermoplastics REACH compliant? KYDEX® V Sheet for O&P– Recycled grade also suited for use by fabricators in the orthotics industry. Offered in a standard, smaller size of 32 in x 48 in.

Mechanical Forming: This process involves the use of a direct mechanical force to shape the preheated plastic sheet. A core plug forces the pliable sheet to fill a space between the plug and the mold, and this imprints the surface patterns onto the plastic sheet. Mechanical thermoforming is used when precision and high levels of detail are required.KYDEX® sheet is easy to laminate to MDF via membrane pressing. Technical Brief 141-A and Technical Brief 141-Boutline the procedures for membrane pressing KYDEX® sheet. Can KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet be fabricated into boxes via miter-folding?

CMT Group ensures that you, our valued customer, enjoys your shopping experience as we strive to make your experience ‘hassle free’.In its simplest form, a small tabletop or lab size machine can be used to heat small cut sections of plastic sheet and stretch it over a mold using vacuum. This method is often used for sample and prototype parts. In complex and high-volume applications, very large production machines are utilized to heat and form the plastic sheet and trim the formed parts from the sheet in a continuous high-speed process and can produce many thousands of finished parts per hour depending on the machine and mold size and the size of the parts being formed. Avoid placing holes for mechanical fasteners close to the edges of parts. Locating fasteners further away from edges results in more durable joints. KYDEX ® thermoplastics have the physical, mechanical and thermal properties your customers want – and the aesthetic versatility they'll love.
