    As the plastic increases in temperature it softens. HDT is the temperature at which it sags a fixed amount 7. This test without ASTM or ISO numbers is more than 60 years old. HDT is often used to sort or rank plastics. And it is often used for quality control. In thermoforming it provides a crude early estimate of the lower temperature for

  • Thermoforming Temperature Control using the PyroMini

    In vacuum forming and thermoforming processes an extruded plastic sheet is heated to make it pliable before being moulded into shape by a vacuum or high pressure. Plastic bath tubs car trim panels and plastic pallets among many other products are all manufactured by thermoforming. The process depends critically upon temperature.

    Technically "shrinkage" is temperature-dependent volume change. When polystyrene for example is slowly cooled from 300°F to room temperature its density changes from 0.99 spgr 4 to 1.05 spgr. In other words it shrinks 6 volumetrically. On the other hand the density of PP changes from 0.77 spgr at 330°F to 0.92 spgr at room temperature.
