FORMPLAST® 2000 (thermoforming plug assist material)
FORMPLAST™ 2000 is a thermoplastic composite material with superior properties for use in thermoforming plug assist applications. FORMPLAST™ 2000 has a micro-porosity of 15-19 compared to 20-30 for Syntactic Foam. FORMPLAST™ 2000 eliminates many of the problems associated with Syntactic Foam, machined aluminum or wood to become the new material of choice for plug assists.
- Superior toughness and impact resistance.
Will not chip, crack or break during process. - Great machinability.
Standard tooling can be used. Can save up to 50% in machining time. More dependable with less chance for breakout. - Machines to final finish.
No maintenance required, does not become porous, never needs filing or sanding. Time saving over competitive products. - Excellent stability
FORMPLAST® 2000 maintains it?s color during process, is resistant to most chemicals and does not require special ventilation or hygienic precautions.
FORMPLAST®2000 is extremely tough, dimensionally stable, and chemically resistant making it an ideal plug assist material in the thermoforming or vacuumforming process of various plastics such as: PS, PETG, HDPE, PET, ABS, PVC, HIPS, PE, K (Crystal Styrene), PP and Vinyl.
