Primex offers substrates of Prime, Utility and or Wide Spec material. This product is ideal for exterior and interior thermoformed parts requiring high gloss appearance and retention as well as scratch resistance.

Applications:
Some applications for this product include Bathtubs and Surrounds, Spas, Countertops, Wall Panels, Doors, Windows, Siding, Luggage carriers, Tractor Roofs, Dashboards and Sanitary Ware.

Processing:
Prime Weather-X 400 will process the same as ABS, depending the grade that is used for the substrate. It is suggested that slightly cooler oven temperatures on the side of the film be utilized.

Finishing:
Parts made from Prime ABS 400 may be joined with machine screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, rivets and spring steel fasteners. Thread cutting or threadforming screws is an economical means of securing the joints. Formed parts may be bonded with Methylene Chloride if maximum impact strength is not required.
