To thermoform Macrolux Solid sheet is important pre-dry in a dehumidifier oven (circulatory air). The pre-drying time depends on the thickness of the sheet.
| Drying Time | ||
|---|---|---|
| Sheet thickness | Maximum temperature of 121 ° C | Maximum temperature of 82.2ºC |
| 2.00 mm | 2 Hours | 4 Hours |
| 3.00 mm | 6 Hours | 14 Hours |
| 4.50 mm | 12 Hours | 30 Hours |
| 6.00 mm | 24 Hours | 50 Hours |
Macrolux Mono GP and SL polycarbonate sheets can be bent cold until a minimum curve radius depending on its thickness. As a rule, the radius of curvature should be equivalent to 100 times the material thickness. R = TX100
R = TX100
| Sheet bending based on thickness | |
|---|---|
| Sheet thickness (T) | Minimum bend radius (R) |
| 2.00 mm | 20 cms |
| 3.00 mm | 30 cms |
| 4.50 mm | 45 cms |
| 6.00 mm | 60 cms |
| 9.50 mm | 95 cms |
| 12.70 mm | 127 cms |
