Prime ABS Weather-X 200 is an acrylic capped co-extruded ABS sheet which can be produced as a two or three multilayer composite. The acrylic cap imparts a very high gloss vibrant colors with superior depth of image excellent UV protection chemical resistance toughness and excellent formability. Property Prime ABS Weather-X 200 Impact Strength High Avg. Low Temperature Impact Strength Tensile Strength Flexural Modulus Heat Deflection Temperature Applications The performance features of Prime ABS Weather-X 200 make it The material of choice for applications including marine personal watercraft recreational vehicles lawngarden buildingconstruction and automotive accessories. Finishing Prime ABS Weather-X 200 can be joined using mechanical methods such as bolts screws or clamps or chemical methods such as cementing. When drilling co-extruded sheet with an acrylic modified drill bit be sure to exit from the acrylic side but when drilling with a standard bit be sure to have the bit exit from the substrate side. For accuracy and safety Prime ABS Weather-X 200 should be clamped during drilling.

ABS may absorb greater amounts of radiant energy than acrylic thus surface temperatures may increase more rapidly. Care should be taken to maintain the surface temperature at 325F-360F to avoid blistering burning and colorgloss shift of the acrylic cap. Colors Textures and Capabilities Prime ABS Weather-X 200 can be color matched to meet your specific requirements. The surface is typically high g
loss but textures such as calf grain HC FL HC Levant 1 and Seville are available.
