Thermoforming
PALSUN and PALTUF sheets intended for thermoforming with masking must be ordered specially and is supplied with a
polyethylene masking intended for thermoforming. This masking must not be printed or labeled except for ink jet along
the edge because printing aects the optical quality of the thermoformed article. Thermoforming machines vary in their
performance. It is essential that you test PALSUN and PALTUF sheets with masking in your thermoforming process before
starting production. If PALSUN and PALTUF sheets intended for thermoforming were not ordered, or if this is not stated
on the packing slip, then the polyethylene masking must be removed prior to thermoforming. In this case, verify that the
sheet is clean prior to processing. If necessary, clean the sheet following the instructions on page 25. Working in a dust free
environment is also required. PALSUN and PALTUF sheets must be pre-dried prior to thermoforming. Detailed instructions
for pre-drying and thermoforming appear in the “PALSUN Technical Manual”.
Important!
Sheets intended for thermoforming are supplied with a special polyethylene masking. Please specify when ordering
PALTUF or PALSUN for thermoforming.
