General Info

FORMPLAST™ 2000 is a thermoplastic composite material with superior properties for use in thermoforming plug assist applications. FORMPLAST™ 2000 has a micro-porosity of 15-19 compared to 20-30 for Syntactic Foam. FORMPLAST™ 2000 eliminates many of the problems associated with Syntactic Foam, machined aluminum or wood to become the new material of choice for plug assists. An ideal plug assist material in the thermoforming or vacuumforming process of various plastics such as: PS, PETG, HDPE, PET, ABS, PVC, HIPS, PE, K (Crystal Styrene), PP and Vinyl.
