Manufacturers require durable thermoforming plug assist materials that can perform at high temperatures, maintaining their hardness to support the production of high-clarity packaging and material uniformity. High levels of poor-quality packaging impacts overall costs and results in a high level of wastage.
Syntac® HTS (High Temperature Solutions) is a high-temperature thermoforming plug assist material. It maintains its hardness up to the maximum running temperature, suitable for use up to 220 OC. Syntac® HTS offers a lightweight, durable and cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
Made from high grade epoxy resin and hollow glass microspheres, Syntac® HTS is ideal for your high-heat, high strength tooling requirements, providing excellent material uniformity whilst maintaining product quality.
