Prime Tuff-X 500

Prime Super Tuff-X 500 is an engineered alloy that offers very high stiffness when rigidity is important. Prime Super Tuff-X 500 has a very low C.L.T.E., excellent cold temperature impact, UV protection, improved rigidity and is highly chemical resistant.

Applications:
Ideal for : marine, automotive, power tools, electronics, lawn and garden and RV applications.

Processing:
Prime Super Tuff-X 500 is a semi-crystalline material that behaves differently in the thermoforming process when compared to an amorphous material. Ideal forming conditions; Mold temp. 170-190°F, Sheet temp. 320-360°F, part removal temp.145-170°F. Aluminum temperature controlled grit blasted tools are preferred. Ceramic tools can also work well if they are glass bead blasted. Quartz or ceramic heaters are preferred when working with Super Tuff-X 500. Calrod heaters can sometimes be used but gas fired is not recommended.

Finishing:
Super Tuff-X 500 can be fabricated by using many techniques such as; drilling, routing, punching, sawing, laser or die cut. Mechanical screws and other types of fasteners may be used to join Super Tuff-X 500 parts together. It may also be bonded with certain types of adhesives.

Please contact your Primex Plastics representative for more information on finishing, fabricating, or the thermoforming process.
