Prime ABS Weather-X 401

Prime Weather-X 401 is a thin gauge extruded acrylic (PMMA) protective cap film that can be laminated to plastic substrates, such as ABS, HIPS, and PMMA. Its exceptional UV protection extends the indoor and outdoor durability of the base sheet. Extruded acrylic film also protects the substrate from yellowing and fading. Its consistent high gloss outshines the finish of brown acrylic films. This tough film also provides abrasion resistance, mildew and fungus resistance, as well as, protection from chemical spillage.

Applications:
Some applications for this product include components for RV's, travel trailers & mobile homes, bath & shower enclosures, sinks, spas, dashboards & consoles for construction & farm equipment, housing for marine craft & snowmobiles, and appliance parts.

Processing:
Prime Weather-X 401 will process the same as ABS, depending on 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 Weather-X 401 may be joined With machine screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, rivets and spring steel fasteners. Thread cutting or thread-forming screws is an economical means of securing the joints. Formed parts may be bonded with Methylene Chloride if maximum impact strength is not required. Press and snap techniques as well as sonic welding are other methods of bonding this product.
