  • Q How to cut ABS plastic sheets?

    A
    Cutting ABS plastic sheets is easy with the right tools and techniques, depending on the thickness and precision required. Here's how:
     
    For thin sheets (up to 1-2mm):
    Utility knife or scoring tool: Score the sheet along a ruler with firm, repeated strokes until you cut halfway through. Then bend at the scoring line to snap cleanly. Smooth the edges with sandpaper if necessary.
    Scissors or tin snips: For very thin sheets or curved cuts, heavy-duty scissors or snips work well, although edges may need to be finished.
     
    For medium sheets (2-6mm):
    Jigsaw: Use a fine-toothed blade (10-12 TPI) designed for plastics. Clamp the sheet to a stable surface, mark your line and cut at a moderate speed to avoid melting the ABS through friction. Cool the blade with water or air if it overheats.
    Circular saw: Use a carbide-tipped blade (high tooth count, 60-80 TPI). Secure the sheet, cut slowly and support it to prevent vibration or cracking.
     
    For thick panels (6mm+):
    Table Saw: As with a circular saw, use a fine-toothed blade and push the panel steadily through. Use a zero-clearance insert to reduce chipping.
    -Band saw: Great for curves or thick cuts; use a narrow, fine-toothed blade and go slowly to maintain control.
     
    General tips:
    Marking: Use a pencil or marker with a ruler or template.
    Safety: Wear safety glasses and a mask - ABS dust can be irritating. Work in a ventilated area.
    Control speed: Too fast can melt the plastic; too slow can cause rough edges. Test on scrap first.
    Finishing: Smooth edges with 120-220 grit sandpaper or use a deburring tool.

  • Q Which plastic sheet is better, PVC or ABS?

    A
    Whether PVC or ABS is “better” depends on your specific needs – each material offers different advantages.
     
    PVC is rigid, affordable, and highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, and weathering, which makes it ideal for outdoor use (e.g., pipes, siding, signage). It is flame-retardant and does not degrade under UV light as quickly as untreated ABS. However, it is less impact-resistant, can become brittle in the cold, and is not as easy to thermoform.
     
    ABS, in contrast, is tougher and more impact-resistant, even at lower temperatures, featuring a glossy finish that enhances aesthetics (e.g., automotive parts, electronics, prototypes). It is easier to mold, machine, and glue; however, it is less resistant to UV light (requiring stabilizers for outdoor use) and has a lower heat tolerance (melting around 105°C compared to PVC’s 80-100°C, depending on the type).

  • Q What is ABS Plastic Sheet?

    A ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) sheet is a high-performance thermoplastic recognized for its remarkable rigidity, hardness, and heat resistance. This thermoplastic is available in various grades, offering a wide range of properties and applications. ABS plastic sheet can be processed using all standard thermoplastic processing methods and is easy to machine. This sheet is frequently used for appliance parts, automotive interiors, aircraft interiors, luggage, trays, and more. Available in various thicknesses, colors, and surface finishes, these sheets comply with international quality standards.

    ♦ High impact resistance
    ♦ Good optical clarity
    ♦ High heat resistance
    ♦ Good electrical insulation
    ♦ Abrasion, weather, and chemical resistance

  • Q What is polycarbonate film used for?

    A polycarbonate film is used for
    energy batteries: battery module/cell/PACK, energy storage battery, etc.
    automotive parts: Automobile dashboard, display panel, charging pile, rearview mirror, lamp, interior decoration, etc.
    home appliances: a display panel, control panel, decorative parts, built-in parts, etc.
    electronic products: Laptop, monitor, audio, electricity meter, membrane switch, panel insulation protection parts, etc.
    communication displays: mobile phone backplane, back cover, vehicle-mounted display, electronic display, etc.
    protective equipment: Luggage, protective helmets, children's toys, medical isolation mask, goggles, welding mask, swimming gogglesSunglasses/hats, etc.

  • Q What is polycarbonate film?

    A Polycarbonate film is a high-performance thermoplastic material derived from polycarbonate plastic. It is known for its optical clarity, excellent impact resistance, and superior thermal stability. In addition, it has excellent mechanical properties, outstanding electrical insulation, high dimensional stability, and outstanding creep resistance.  Polycarbonate films are used in various industries such as energy batteries, electronic products, automotive parts, home appliances, communication displays, protective equipment, etc.

  • Q What is the benefit of rPET sheet?

    A
    Non-toxic and safe
    High rigidity, hardness and strength
    High dimensional stability
    Easy to thermoform
    Good barrier to oxygen and water vapor
    Good mechanical properties

  • Q Is the rPET sheet 100% recyclable?

    A Yes, the rPET sheet and rPET products are 100% recyclable.

  • Q What is the difference between rPET and PET?

    A rPET sheet is a recycled polyethylene terephthalate sheet, which means it comes from waste PET recycled by businesses and consumers. PET sheets are made from new virgin PET chips, a material from the oil.

  • Q What is a rPET sheet?

    A rPET sheet is a sustainable plastic made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET). These sheets have the beneficial properties of virgin PET, such as strength, transparency, and thermal stability. It is also the material most commonly used by manufacturers to help achieve their sustainability goals.

  • Q What are cpet trays？

    A CPET trays, or Crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate trays, are a type of food packaging made from a particular kind of thermoplastic material. CPET is known for its excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, making it a popular choice for various food packaging applications.

  • Q Is CPET plastic tray ovenable？

    A Yes, CPET plastic trays are ovenable. They can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 220°C (-40°F to 428°F), which allows them to be used in microwave ovens, conventional ovens, and even frozen storage.

  • Q What is the difference CPET tray vs PP tray？

    A The main difference between CPET trays and PP (Polypropylene) trays is their heat resistance and material properties. CPET trays are more heat resistant and can be used in both microwave and conventional ovens, while PP trays are typically used for microwave applications or cold storage. CPET offers better rigidity and resistance to cracking, whereas PP trays are more flexible and can sometimes be less expensive.

  • Q What food packaging are CPET trays used for?

    A CPET trays are used for various food packaging applications, including ready meals, bakery products, frozen foods, and other perishable items that require reheating or cooking in an oven or microwave.

  • Q CPET vs PET

    A CPET and PET are both types of polyesters, but they have different properties due to their molecular structures. CPET is a crystalline form of PET, which gives it increased rigidity and better resistance to high and low temperatures. PET is typically used for beverage bottles, food containers, and other packaging applications that don't require the same degree of temperature tolerance. PET is more transparent, while CPET is usually opaque or semi-transparent.
