Vacuum Thermoforming in China

Vacuum thermoforming is commonly used for various plastic packaging china but has many applications from plastic

toys to aircraft windscreens to cafeteria trays.

Thin gauge (less than 0.060 inches) sheets are mostly used for rigid or disposable packaging. While thick gauge (greater than 0.120 inches) sheets are typically used for cosmetic permanent surfaces on automobiles.

Shower enclosures, and electronic equipment. A variety of thermoplastic materials can be used in this process, including the following:

Acrylic (PMMA)

Cellulose Acetate

Polystyrene (PS)

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Polypropylene (PP)

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Thick-Gauge Thermoforming in China

Thick-gauge--or "heavy-gauge"--thermoforming, manufacture parts with a thickness in the range of .060 to .310. This thickness creates sturdy, rigid enclosures. Perfect for enclosing things like electronic equipment in supercomputers. Materials used in thick-gauge thermoforming include flame-retardant ABS, polycarbonate, and a PC-ABS blend. Low volume orders are common, and a quality thick-gauge thermoforming company can do economical low-volume runs.

In addition, thick-gauge thermoformed must consider aesthetics. How the enclosure looks--since the enclosure is not going to be discarded like the packaging but is actually part of the product itself. For customers concerned with branding, the look of these enclosures. From color to logo placement.Is an important part of the thermoforming process. what to find a good thermoforming company that can meet your volume requirements and deadlines is critical in China. At CN-MOULDING, our award-winning thermoforming process takes your 3D injection files to finished parts in just 2-4 weeks.

Thick Gauge Thermoforming has cost an effective way

Whether for new products or updating existing products. Thick Gauge Thermoforming is cost an effective way to achieve the function, style. And durability is required for many applications. Chinese thermoforming companies have experience producing parts for a wide range of industries such as Communications, Search and Rescue, Construction, Automotive. And various military applications. Plastic thermoformed parts can be both lighter weight and offer greater impact resistance than comparable parts in metal. The Thick Gauge Thermoforming process allows for the material to be formed into more complex. And smoother shapes than traditional metal forming techniques can produce.

Plastic thermoformed parts also offer a nice appearance without additional surface finishing. Though color matched painting is an option. The benefit of plastic coloring is that it goes all the way through the material. So if the part is scratched it won’t show a different color below the surface. Special properties can be incorporated into materials. Such as UV protection, flame retardance, electrical conductivity, solvent resistance, food-grade, etc.
