VACUUM MOULDED

Process Description: Vacuum forming can be used for many thicknesses of plastic sheet and can provide great strength in its finished mouldings. Simple technique and high production rate make this an economical thermoforming process, which enables us to run small quantities and samples. Examples of plastics that can be used in vacuum forming include: acrylic, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and crystalline polyester (CPET). All products can be completed using a wide range of hinges, handles, labels, locking mechanisms and all in a material and colour to suit your requirements.

Process Features:   Can produce industrial, small and large scale components Short cycle times Low mould and tooling costs Environmentally friendly production method (compared to thermoset composites) Highly decorative finishes that would not be achievable with pressure assisted techniques, where the negative tooling would destroy the decorative surface.

All of the above can add to a significant cost reduction over traditional forming methods of thermoset and thermoplastic composites whilst maintaining their elevated properties. Please email or call +44 (0) 1204 868 630 to discuss your requirements.
