At the same time positive air pressure is applied above the plastic sheet. Plastic pressure forming is a type of plastic thermoformingthat heats a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable and then presses it against a mold. Pressure thermoforming is a plastic manufacturing process in which compressed air is used to push the back of the plastic sheet against the mold.

Twin sheet forming uses distinct top and bottom molds heat and vacuum to create a void between two sheets of plastic while forming a strong edge seal. To start we add a vessel on the opposite side of the sheet from the mold. Founded in 1963 c k plastics is recognized as one of the most experienced state of the art thermoforming companies in the industry. Pressure forming is an advanced plastic manufacturing process whereby a plastic sheet is.

Pressure forming uses both a vacuum to draw the thermoformed sheet into the cavity of the mold and positive air pressure to push the thermoformed sheet tightly against the surface of the mold picking up precise surface details. Pressure forming plastic is an enhancement of vacuum forming making it one of the more advanced forms of thermoforming. We represent quality manufacturers such as spartech royalite kleerdex primex and others. Overview of vacuum forming materials vacuum forming plastic materials pressure forming plastic sheets from professional plastics include the full line of kydex abs pvc alloy sheets royalite fr abs sheets and more.

This added forming pressure enables creating thermoformed parts with much sharper detail. This produces three dimensional parts with features and aesthetics such as detailed surface finishes and textures that rival more expensive processes. To achieve this pressing action air is removed or vacuumed out from below the plastic sheet. Using standard tools kydex thermoforming sheets can be drilled vacuum formed brake formed or punch pressed kydex is a machinable thermoplastic that can be molded to form fit just about any shape imaginable without expensive tools and machinery.
