Bending
Part of plastic’s advantage is its formability. Midland Plastics can both heat-bend and cold-bend materials, based on the material and the needs of your application.

Cold Bending
Some thermoplastic materials can be cold bent, without the need to apply heat. Depending on the thickness of the material, most plastics can be bent in a gradual radius without negatively affecting the integrity of the material. Some materials can even be cold bent using a press brake, the same machine used for bending metal.

Heat Bending
When heated to specific temperatures, thermoplastic materials can be remolded or formed. Midland uses a variety of methods to heat bend thermoplastic material.
