Machine & Material Innovations Highlight SPE Thermoforming Conference

摘要

The industry's largest twin-sheet thermoformer and the first North American source of halogen heaters were among the machinery and equipment developments at the recent 17th Annual SPE Thermoforming Conference in Cincinnati.There was also plenty of news in materials,including a new tie-layer resin that bonds acrylic to TPO,the emergence of cyclic olefin copolymers(COCs)as modifiers for thermo-formed polyolefins,and a new supplier of APET with ambitious plans to become the industry's leading producer.
