Quality Plastic Film and Plastic Sheets
What is the heat resistance of polypropylene sheets (PP)? Polypropylene starts to soften at 70C/1580F. The film will soften very evenly, which makes HDPE ideal for thermoforming, bending, and heat sealing applications.
What is the heat resistance of HDPE sheets? HDPE starts to soften at 70C / 128F. The film will soften very evenly, which makes HDPE ideal for thermoforming, bending, and heat sealing applications.
What is the heat resistance of flexible PVC film and sheets? Flexible PVC film starts to soften at 60C/140F. This is due to its plasticizer content. The softer the film, the more plasticizer, the lower temp it melts at. So if your film will only be exposed to a heat environment below 60C/140F, flexible PVC … Read more
What is the heat resistance of Drafting Film? Drafting Film is designed for use in environments below 85C/185F. At higher temperatures, the matte surface could yellow, or loose some of it’s ink adhesion properties. At really high temperatures above 150C it begins to loose it’s orientation, thus it will become wavy and shrink. If you … Read more
What is the heat resistance of our Double Tack™ film? Double Tack is designed for use in environments below 65C/140F. At higher temperatures, the adhesive becomes soft and loses adhesion. At really high temperatures (above 150C), it begins to lose its orientation; it will become wavy and shrink. If you need a matte film for … Read more
What is the heat resistance of circular light diffuser film? Circular light diffuser film is designed for use in environments below 85C/185F. At higher temperatures, the matte surface could yellow, or lose some of its ink adhesion properties. At really high temperatures (above 150C), it begins to lose its orientation; it will become wavy and … Read more
What is the heat resistance of ClearLay vinyl film and sheets? ClearLay starts to soften at 85C/180F. The film will soften very evenly, which makes it the perfect film for thermoforming, blister packaging, and clam shell packaging. If you need an excellent high clarity film that is more heat resistant than ClearLay, please check out our … Read more
What is the heat resistance of Clear DuraLar? Clear DuraLar will begin to soften at about 150C/300F. When DuraLar softens, it begins to lose its orientation; it gets wavy and begins to shrink. Need to thermoform? Polyester films like Clear DuraLar don’t thermoform too well because of their crystalline structure. Try our Clearlay, Acetate, HDPE … Read more
What is the heat resistance of asymmetrical diffuser film? Asymmetric diffuser film is designed to withstand heat up to 80C/145F. Exposure at higher temperatures will cause the film to start to melt, and its diffusion lens system will become deformed.
What is the heat resistance of Archival DuraLar™? Archival DuraLar will begin to soften at about 150C/300F. When DuraLar softens, it begins to lose its orientation; it gets wavy and begins to shrink. So if your film will only be exposed to a heat environment below 150C/300F, archvial DuraLar is a good choice. Need to … Read more
