Invision Your Future...Today

Invision Sheet is fast becoming the material of choice within the thermoforming, profile extrusion and molding industries. Offering superior advantages over conventional materials, Invision Sheet is a logical option for processors, OEMs and current paint users looking for an alternative to paint and paintfilm.

Some of these advantages include:

• Class "A" Finish - Invision enables manufacturers to achieve the properties of paint with the improved protection of plastic while avoiding the use of paint. The brilliant qualities of Invision Sheet improve the appearance of conventional substrate material by providing a high gloss, Class "A", decorative exterior product finish suitable for a variety of markets and applications.
• Better Value - Invision Sheet has the largest impact where it matters the most; the bottom line. Invision Sheet provides molders and thermoformers the ability to achieve a high quality finish, resulting in increased value to their product with minimal investment. Invision utilizes new substrate technologies resulting in more raw material savings to you and your customers. Invision can also be converted into regrind and reprocessed, resulting in less scrap and higher profits for your product. The durability of Invision provides a finished surface that does not chip or flake and has superior impact properties resulting in fewer warranty claims.
• Durability - Unlike paint and paintfilm, the technology behind Invision Sheet prevents the material from chipping and cracking in extreme low temperatures. Invision's ductility at sub-zero temperatures eliminates the severe fragmentation seen in impact tests for painted plastic. The unique proprietary layering system incorporated into Invision Sheet allows the material to maintain product quality and color integrity throughout high stretch areas in the thermoforming and molding processes as well as conditions experienced after processing such as environmental exposure, abrasion and impact.
• Color Technology - Invision's Color Technology team is able to precisely match the colors currently used in today's automotive and non-automotive markets including iridescent, metallics and special effect colors. Beginning with trials as early as the late 1990's, the team has years of experience refining a patented system of pigments and additives with ionomer based carriers resulting in the capabilities to tackle the most complicated color palettes. Responsiveness and reasonable lead times are some of the many qualities demonstrated by the Invision Color Technology team.
• Recylability - The material used in the manufacturing of Invision Sheet is completely thermoplastic allowing regrind to feed back into the material stream. With the recycling capabilities of Invision Sheet, processors can introduce an improved cost savings into their business as well as achieve federal standards for environmental protection.
• Materials Technology - All material used in the production of Invision Sheet is manufactured by A. Schulman ensuring total product quality, product accountability and ultimately cost savings. With decades of experience, the A. Schulman compound team is able to consistently provide adhesive, substrate and ionomeric compounds to the exact specifications needed to produce a successful Invision product. Quality and performance experienced with A. Schulman compounded products is reflected in Invision Sheet.
• Processing Capabilities -Invision Sheet is available in a range of standard widths and thicknesses and is supplied in roll, cut sheet or tape form. Cut sheet is available in lengths up to 20 ft. and roll forms are available in standard lengths of 250 ft. and 500 ft. Tapes are available in a variety of widths and lengths supplied on a core. Invision Sheet is suitable for various manufacturing processes including thermoforming, compression molding, injection and blow molding and profile extrusion.
