R24 combines high impact strength and stiffness with excellent formability. It also has an enhanced heat deflection temperature of 210 degrees F. Manufactured utilizing our proprietary cap sheet technology, R24 provides outstanding color and gloss control and superior grain retention after thermoforming.

APPLICATIONS:
The combination of flame rating, toughness and durability makes Royalite® R24 the perfect choice for applications when a ULHB rated material is called for. Its excellent balance of properties makes it suitable for wide variety of applications such as business machine housing, medical equipment, and electronics enclosures. The superior forming characteristics of R24 also make it a great material for the complex configurations.

PROCESSING:
You can process R-24 rigid thermoplastic sheet on virtually all thermoforming equipment from high-volume, multi-station rotary machines to hand-operated presses. It is readily hand-formed for prototyping, and is suitable for use with aluminum and epoxy molds and fine-grain wood molds such as mahogany. Care must be taken in forming so as not to overheat the sheet. Stock temperatures of approximately 340-390°F are recommended for proper forming. As with any thermoplastic material, care should be taken to account for the coefficient of thermal expansion when considering design parameters. Please contact Spartech for data relating to your specific application and equipment.

COLORS & TEXTURES:
Royalite® R24 sheet can be supplied in a variety of colors and over 16 different grain patterns to meet specific aesthetic requirements. This Royalite product is normally capped with calendered film, which provides exceptional color and gloss control, plus outstanding grain retention after forming.

FINISHING:
You can machine, saw, drill, rout and grind this rigid sheet with conventional plastics fabricating equipment. It can be punched and die-cut, sanded and polished easily. So long as proper procedures are followed, you can join it to itself, or other materials, by adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding, and by mechanical fasteners. Please contact Spartech for specific recommendations.
