Thermoforming

THERMOFORMING IS OUR MIDDLE NAME

FORMTECH PLASTICS IS THE EXPERT IN CUSTOM VACUUM FORMING OF THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS
Thermoforming
Vacuum thermoforming is a plastic manufacturing process in which a 2 dimensional thermoplastic sheet is heated to a forming optimal temperature and, using vacuum and pressure, is formed into a 3 dimensional part.

Formtech Plastics is dedicated to helping our customers realize their goals by providing high quality custom vacuum thermoplastic products. We have years of custom vacuum forming of thermoplastics and we’re able to assist in any project, be it through custom manufacturing , design or consultation. Let Formtech Plastics put our experience to work for you.

Thermoforming

Thermoplastics

Formtech Plastics is a leading solutions-based plastics thermoforming supplier. We can satisfy all types of small to medium volume plastic forming production runs. We offer an assortment of plastics in various thicknesses from .020" to .375" in a variety of colours and surface textures to meet our customer requirements. Forming equipment at Formtech Plastics allows us the capability of forming parts from sheet sizes as small as 12" x 12" up to 48" x 72". The reproductions are formed using A.B.S. plastic available in .030.

Plastic Materials

  • HMWPE - Widely used as wear parts and abrasion resistant plastic components in the conveyor and materials handling industry.
  • HDPE – Cost effective material for industrial applications requiring high impact strength.
  • ABS – Broad spectrum of resins used across a number of applications. Can be formulated to meet UL flammability standards.
  • ACRYLIC – Widely used resin in micro-processor based equipment housings. Meets most stringent UL standards for flammability and can be made in wide range of colors and textures.
  • POLYCARBONATE – Alloy delivers UL approval in addition to high impact performance.
  • HIPS – A low cost, high impact polystrene that is easy to machine and fabricate. HIPS has excellent dimensional stability and is often used for low strength structural applications and prototypes.
