Cross-section through the detachable roof modules of the Ford Bronco. This part is made with a thermoformed thermoplastic outer layer, which is back-moulded with glass fibre and polyurethane resin (PUR), plus a Nomex honeycomb core for increased thickness (stiffness with minimal additional weight). It is manufactured by compression moulding, whereby the thermoformed polycarbonate (PC) is placed into the mould, onto which glass fibre and honeycomb are laid. A precise dose of PUR is applied by spraying on the layers and then the whole assembly is compressed in a mould and heated to cure.

Thermoformed meat packaging tray in black polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester. Black is used to make the meat look as good as possible. However, it is the most difficult colour to identify in recycling, with some sorting centres forced to separate it for incineration rather than recycling.
