High Impact Urethane Plastic Question

[DavidFrommi18]

Hey Guys,

Just a quick question. Does anybody know if you can vacuum form with High Impact Urethane plastic? Ive pepped some Iron Man Fingers and would like to use them at temp moulds and use the urethane as the finished material.


Any help would be much appreciated



Cheers.

I don't think that you'll have very good luck vac-forming urethane sheet.
Urethane is a thermoset material....vac-forming typically uses thermoform materials.
Thermoform materials soften with heat and cool into a solid....thermosets use heat to cure into a solid...not typically reversable.

A better material for vac-forming would be ABS or HIPS...HIPS is the standard for vac-formed canopies.
