Sheets and Thermoforming

Sheet products show color and surface defects quickly, so testing on the actual material matters.

Conceptual study of translucent off-white and black plastic pellets on navy and white surfaces.

Application context

Unstable appearance or whiteness in sheets and thermoforming?

What happens in this process?

Sheet is a flat, large-area product, so any yellowing, whiteness variation, or moisture spots show quickly across the wide surface and become clearer once the sheet is thermoformed. Because the area is large, even a small defect stays noticeable.

How do you select the first product to trial?

Yellowish white → optical brightener (OB); weak white coverage → white masterbatch; moisture spots → desiccant. Selection depends on sheet thickness and material — test a sample under the same operating conditions.
