THERMOFORMING TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES
Exposure: Continuous cycle consisting of 8 hours of UV at 50°C (122°F) followed by 4 hours of condensation at 50°C (122°F), this closely follows ASTM D4329, Cycle C with a UVA 340 type lamp. This test is an approximation of how the material will react to real weather environments, but is not an exact model due to the fact that all weather conditions vary and are not constant.
