Packaging & Storage Packaging & Storage Page

Packaging & Storage SURFACE PROTECTION All Foamalux sheets are covered by a protective polyethylene film. This surface protection is applied to one side of the sheet only and can be removed easily. All Foamalux sheets are stacked on pallets at the end of the production line. The pallets are covered with stretch-wrap film and strapped to ensure they are received by the end user in pristine condition. The sheets should be similarly protected or packaged at all stages of process to ensure the quality of finished items. STORAGE & HANDLING Foamalux is a relatively flexible material but, if...

Section 4 Packaging & Storage Burning causes noxious fumes to be released e.g. hydrochloric acid, carbon monoxide. Do not breathe decomposition products. When decomposition products have been accidentally inhaled, medical assistance is required. DISPOSAL/RECYCLING Foamalux is a valuable thermoplastic that should be recycled whenever possible. Sheets which have been mechanically damaged, but have been kept free of contamination by dust or dirt, may be recycled into lower grade PVC products. The appropriate disposal route is through a specialist plastic recycling contractor. Sheets which have...

Fabrication Techniques Fabrication Techniques Page Computer controlled cutting 16

Fabrication Techniques Foamalux is an easy material to work with, using basic wood and metal working tools. When working with any power tool, the sheet temperatures must be kept below the material softening point of 70°C. PVC is a thermoplastic and excessive heat build-up can result in deformation, softening and surface deterioration or discolouration of the sheet substrate. Compressed air is a suitable and easy to apply coolant. Efficient removal of dust and swarf from the cutting tool helps to lower temperatures. These measures assist in obtaining a good quality cut finish. In general,...
