We also carry element by the foot in various seal widths 2mm 3mm 5mm 10mm or round. It can be used up to 1700 c 3100 f above which it becomes brittle and susceptible to physical damage.

Determining the right temperature for thermoforming improving your thermoforming process is not a question of one heating element versus another but rather the optimum element for the given application. Many items can be vacuum formed and many different plastics can be used but for the purposes of this tutorial i ll be focusing on the machine. 10 tolerates high temperatures resists bending and cracking and is a very good electrical conductor. You do not need temperature controls with these kits because they are tuned to work well with plastics.
