Full range of vacuum forming options

Thermal Plastic Vacuum Forming

Wausau Canvas Company, Inc. offers vacuum forming of thermal plastic sheet goods. We have two ovens, one with upper heaters and a shuttle with a 4' x 6' maximum sheet size capability. The other is a double oven with upper and lower heaters for rapid and uniform heating of materials. Sheet capacity is also 4' x 6'.

Materials commonly used in vacuum forming include ABS, Polyethylene (such as HMPE), and Polycarbonates (such as Acrylics). Thermal plastics formulated as forming grade can generally be formed with vacuum forming processes. The product end-use determines which materials are best suited for each application. Black is readily available for most materials, and colors can be special ordered, although minimums can be 2,000 to 5,000 lbs per size.
