ROYALITE® R20 thermoplastic sheet is a rigid ABS product with a combination of properties that makes it ideal for the widest range of applications. It has very high impact strength and stiffness, excellent high and low temperature performance and outstanding formability.
APPLICATIONS:
In addition to its superior mechanical properties, ROYALITE® R20 sheet lends itself to dielectric welding, resists thermal distortion and also resists many chemicals and plasticizers. It is the material of choice for applications ranging from water softener housings to auto instrument panels, as well as luggage and musical instrument cases.
PROCESSING:
ROYALITE® R20 thermoplastic sheet can be processed on virtually all thermoforming equipment from high volume, multi-station rotary machines to hand-operated presses. It is readily hand-formed for prototyping. It is also suitable for use with aluminum and epoxy molds and fine-grain wood molds such as mahogany. Care must be taken in forming so as not to overheat the sheet. Stock temperatures of approximately 340°F-390°F are recommended for proper forming. As with any thermoplastic material, care should be taken to account for the coefficient of thermal expansion when considering design parameters. Please contact Royalite for data relating to a specific application or equipment.
COLORS & TEXTURES:
ROYALITE® R20 is offered in a tremendous range of colors with a multitude of textures ranging from smooth to deep-textured. This Royalite product is normally capped with a calendered film, which gives exceptional color and gloss control, plus outstanding grain retention after forming.
FINISHING:
With conventional plastic fabricating tools, it is possible to machine, saw, drill, rout and grind this rigid Royalite sheet. It can be punched and die-cut, and paints can be applied by spray, silk screen or roller coating. For optimum performance, paints formulated for plastics must be used. As long as proper procedures are followed, this material can be joined to other materials, or itself, by adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding and by mechanical fasteners such as screws and rivets. Please contact Royalite for specific recommendations.
