Bending…
We bend plastics for either multiple or one-off production runs. We have several benders at our disposal, enabling us to bend plastics such as acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC and PETG
Cold or hot bending…
We have various ovens and heaters for bending a wide range of materials. There is a distinction between cold and hot bending. Polycarbonate is the only material that can be bent while cold. This process is also known as
‘pressing’. We can perform this for you with a minimum radius of 100 times the thickness of the sheet for polycarbonate.
A smaller radius is also possible, but we recommend hot bending for this purpose. This method allows you to bend without creating stress, and Plastix uses specialist ovens and heaters for this process. Hot bending is possible with acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC and PETG. We can bend acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC and PETG along one or two axes.
Anything is possible
We have multiple ovens and heaters at our factory, allowing us to perform line bending and oven bending – also known as moulding. Our heaters are 2.4m long, and our ovens are generously sized with an area of 2.4 x 1.5 metres and a height of over 500mm.
This means Plastix can do a lot of things for you. If you need multidimensional bending, that’s no problem either.
Leaders in the industry
Plastix has more than 40 years’ experience in bending plastics.
You can imagine that we have accumulated a lot of expertise in that time.
Custom bending
At Plastix, we can bend material beyond the minimum radius if required. We do this with moulds that we design and make ourselves. Whether the designs are complex or the shapes unique, our custom solutions guarantee a precise and lasting bend. Afterwards, we store the mould for any future orders. That way, if you need the same product in future, it can be made using the exact specfifications
Top-quality finishing
Our professionals make sure the bent sheets are perfectly finished, with smooth edges and precisely shaped contours. After all, the finish is crucial to the final look of your project. It will come as no surprise that we pay such close attention to detail.
Can all plastics
be bent?
Thermoplastic plastics such as acrylic, polycarbonate and PETG can all be bent. By contrast, the bending of thermosetting polymers such as solid surface material is not so straight forward.
Frequently asked questions
Can all plastics be bent?
Thermoplastic plastics such as acrylic, polycarbonate and PETG can all be bent. By contrast, the bending of thermosetting polymers such as Solid Surface material is not so straightforward
What is the maximum thickness you can bend?
We can bend up to 30mm thick
What is the minimum/maximum radius you can achieve?
This depends on the thickness of the material, we can bend a radius to as little as the thickness of the material being bent.
