1 DatasheetSYNTAC 350A syntactic composite material for thermoformingIntroductionAEM product group developed and introduced the first syntacticfoam thermoforming material in 1981 and through a process of continuousinvestment and product development are recognised as leaders in the 350 is the industr y standard white syntactic foam, madefrom high grade epoxy resin and hollow glass microspheresdesigned specifically for fabricating thermoforming plugs and otherassociated in block, sheet and rod form, Syntac 350 is easilymachined using standard shop tools and offers a lightweight,durable and cost effective alternative to wood, felt and & BenefitsSyntac 350 is engineered to address problems inherent in traditional thermoforming tooling, such as sticking, deformation and failure. Simple and fast plug preparationSyntac 350 can be easily machined, using standard tooling equipment. Low thermal conductivity and Specific HeatReduced warm up times, and virtual elimination of plug sticking or fouling.

2 Excellent Dimensional Stability and Temperature ResistanceMaintains shape at elevated temperatures. Consistent and reliable plug life, proven by long ser vice histor y in application. LightweightReduces wear and tear on moving machiner y parts. Variety of rods, sheet and block availableCustomised plugs can also be s350 03/08 ApplicationsSyntac 350 is used to form a wide range of polymer sheet materials,such as PS, PE and PVC. It is ideal for thermoforming on a widerange of inline, sheet or rotar y fed systems, such as componentsmanufacture within the food and medical packaging, aerospace and automotive material s versatility also makes it ideal for prototype tooling in many other plastics processes. Syntac can be used as a direct replacement for Hytac -W andSynform .SafetySyntac 350 can be handled without any specific ventilation,hygiene or flammability precautions being necessar y. However, sanding, grinding and other machine operations may result in nuisance dusts that may be irritating tothe eyes and upper respirator y tract.
