Sensacril - FP

Sensacryl FB is a specially formulated cross-linked cast acrylic sheet designed for the sanitary ware market. It is available in virtually all the industry colors, whites, pastels and marbles with color matching readily available. Sensacryl is available in cut-to-size for specific requirements subject to quotation.

Sensacril FB has excellent chemical resistant properties enabling it to be in contact with commonly used household cleaning agents. Also, the cross-linking allows Sensacryl to be thermoformed in deep draws with excellent uniformity particularly at sharp corners.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

SANITARY WARE TESTS

bulletSensacril FP has been tested by an industry approved independent laboratory for compliance to the ANSI Z 124.1, UL 746C and UL 94HB standards for plastic materials used in hot tubs and associated equipment. The test results complied exhibiting excellent chemical and stain resistance, accelerated aging resistance, cigarette burn resistance and low water absorption.

THERMOFORMING PROPERTIES. Sensacryl FB shows better thermoforming properties than general purpose cell cast acrylic sheet. It's advantages:

bulletSensacril FP can be thermoformed much more easily because it takes less force to thermoform parts.
bulletSensacril FP will stretch considerably further without rupturing.
bulletSensacril FP has improved thermal stability allowing a more flexible thermoforming process for complex parts.

FORMING CONDITIONS

bulletSensacril FP is ideally thermoformed in a temperature range of 335-390 F (180-220C) with a cycle of 10-14 minutes in a hot air circulating oven.
bulletThe actual cycle temperature settings and techniques most suitable for a particular job are best determined in the customer's own equipment. The following charts give a general guideline about heating times as a function of the sheet thickness for air circulation ovens and infrared heating.
