SUGGESTED WORKING TEMPERATURES
All temperatures stated are suggested working temperatures based on investigantion and resin suppliers information. Temperature ranges may change from one oven to the other.
COOLING PROCESS
- Smooth and slow cooling is important, very fast cooling can lead to material internal stress.
- Take into consideration room temperature and sheet size.
HEATING TIMES
- Heating times depend on material, thickness and sheet dimension.
- Reference: thicknesses 2-4 mm (2-3 minutes per thickness).
- Double thickness does not mean double time!.
- Even if transparency of material is an indication, make tests for each thickness and material.
- Attention! – There is a risk you may overheat the material.
HEATING TIPS
- Check your ovens real operation conditions, pre-heating and accuracy are key.
- Even heating on all parts of the sheet is important to avoid stress on material.
- Clean oven surface and make sure it is smooth and not sticky, Teflon solid base is highly recomended.
