What happens is that the composition of the plastic is undone so that it acquires the desired shape.\u00a0 It will then be left to cool down so that it stays in that new position.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are certain materials that receive the changes better without their structure being damaged and without breaking in the process, these materials are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/plasticexpress.es\/en\/materials-ec\/methacrylate-materials\/\"><b>acrylic plastic<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/plasticexpress.es\/en\/materials-ec\/compact-polycarbonate\/\"><b>polycarbonate<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different tools and methods can be used to modify the shape of a plastic and even cold bending can be used. The most commonly used machinery in this field and the one that is giving the best results to our customers is the <\/span><b>automatic bending machine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which allows the work to be done in a more precise and effective way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of bending plastic must always be excellent, maintaining the basic characteristics of the material we are handling. In the case of acrylic plastic, after having bent it, it must continue to maintain the characteristics of<\/span><b> optical transparency, resistance, lightness, capacity to withstand extreme temperatures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and inclement weather, etc.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the composition of the material, we can distinguish between two main ways of treating it:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low gauge materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: They can be cold bent without the need for the plastic to be subjected to high temperatures. In addition, if the appropriate slots are made, the object can be made bendable and maintain its strength and flexibility characteristics.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High gauge materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: These plastics must be subjected to high temperatures in order to modify their shape and bend them as we wish. This means that, once the object has the desired shape, it will not change no matter how much use we make of the product.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/plasticexpress.es\/en\/processes\/\"><b>manufacturing processes for plastics<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with which you can cut, polish, print or glue the materials so that they adapt perfectly to the needs of your project.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why bend acrylic plastic?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most resistant and flexible materials when it comes to modifying its shape through thermoforming is acrylic plastic.

Thanks to acrylic plastic bending, it is possible to <\/span><b>make round objects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as aquariums or swimming pools, which need to withstand great pressure due to the water they contain.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, products such as<\/span><b> furniture, windows or displays <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must be very resistant to withstand the weight placed on them. Another good feature of acrylic plastic is its optical and aesthetic quality, which is why it can be used to create objects such as trophies or decoration.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask for a quote for plastic bending<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a project in mind and you have realised that one of the steps you need to do is to bend acrylic plastic, you can <\/span><b>write to us through our email<\/b> <a href=\"mailto:info@plasticexpress.es\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">info@plasticexpress.es<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, indicating in the subject of the email what you are interested in, for example: bending acrylic plastic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our team will analyse in depth what your needs are and what you need to carry out your project with excellence.
