Prime ABS 750 is a general purpose ABS product that has good impact strength and good hot strength for thermoforming. It is an amorphous thermoplastic material and therefore processes easier than some other thermoplastic materials. Property Prime ABS 750 Impact Strength High Avg. Low Temperature Impact Strength Tensile Strength Flexural Modulus Heat Deflection Temperature Applications Prime ABS 750 may be used for interior applications such as appliance parts tub and shower wall surrounds and interior automotive trim. With the addition of a weatherable cap it may also be used in many outdoor applications. Finishing Parts made with Prime ABS 750 may be joined with machine screws bolts nuts rivets and spring steel fasteners. Thread cutting or thread-forming screws is an economical means of securing separate joints. Formed parts may be joined with Methylene Chloride if maximum impact strength is not required. Press and snap techniques and sonic welding may also be used for the bonding of Prime ABS 750.

Complies with FMVSS 302 at thickness .050 in. Complies with FDA Regulation 21 CFR 181.32 Processing Prime ABS 750 is rather easy to thermoform due to its exceptional hot strength. It can be formed on wood epoxy ceramic and or aluminum tools. The forming temperature has a range of 300 - 350F. For best results the mold temperature should be 150-190F. In some cases it is necessary to dry the sheet before forming. Colors Textures and Capabilities Prime ABS 750 can be color matched to meet your specific requirements.
