ROYALITE® R26 thermoplastic sheet is a special ABS product that provides an unusual combination of very high tensile strength, impact strength and stiffness, coupled with outstanding formability. Upon request, this Royalite sheet can be formulated to comply with current FDA and NSF requirements for food handling equipment and devices. Combining these special features with the wide range of colors and finishes available gives the greatest possible freedom in meeting application requirements.
APPLICATIONS:
In addition to the properties mentioned previously, ROYALITE® R26 sheet features high hardness. Together, these qualities have made ROYALITE® R26 sheet the product of choice in a wide range of severe-service applications including luggage, auditorium seating, food handling trays and boxes, and motorcycle fairings.
PROCESSING:
ROYALITE® R26 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® R26 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 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.
