Using FPO® Sheet 750 in thermoforming has technical and economic advantages as shown in the example table. Please contact us for further examples.

 

	PP	FPO® 40% filled
Thickness (μm)	1000	750-800
Grammage (g/m2)	901	945-990
Strokes/min*	~33	~40
Shrink	1.8%	0.7-1.1%
Heat Capacity per unit area (kJ/m2 K)	1.53	1.36
Heat Conductivity (W / m K)	0.22	0.51
Heat Deflection Temperature A	85 ¡C	70 ¡C
Price per unit area	100%	80-90%

* Higher speed due to shorter heating and/or cooling times specific for application and machine.

 

Advantage: Shrinkage similar to polystyrene, possibility to down gauge due to good rigidity. Faster thermoforming cycling time than pure polyolefins.
