Processing
Extreme™ LG can be thermoformed in standard thermoforming ovens, although zoned ceramic or quartz heaters are recommended. Forming over temperature-controlled aluminum tooling results in the best part aesthetics. Molds made from fiberglass or epoxy, can be used for tooling prototyping or small part runs. Care must be taken in forming to heat sheet evenly and not overheat. Stock temperatures of approximately 340°F - 360°F are recommended targets, but each process should be adjusted to allow proper forming. As with any thermoplastic material, coefficient of thermal expansion and mold shrinkage should be considered for proper part fit and tooling design.
