Prime ABS Weather-X ML500 is a multi-layer sheet structure of up to 5 layers but is typically 3 consisting of Acrylic ASA and ABS. An acrylic clear coat finish provides a hard stain resistant surface that has excellent gloss depth of image chemical resistance and surface hardness. This layering technique provides superior UV protection color stability and ease of formability.

Applications Includes agriculture spa automotive transportation and marine industry applications. Finishing When drilling co-extruded sheetprofile 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 acrylic capped sheet should be clamped during drilling. For cuttingtrimming Weather-X ML500 sheet with CNC or air routers a standard solid carbide fiberglass router diamond-cut tool can be used. Routing parts in a CNC environment is best done with chip-breaker-type solid carbide tools.. Processing Surface Temp 325-350F Mold Temp 150 - 175F De-mold 170F and mold shrink is .004-.008 inin. Oven heaters on gloss side should be somewhat lower than on the substrate side. The sheet must be fully saturated with heat before forming. Colors Textures and Capabilities The surface is typically high gloss. The colors are Solids Granite Pearlescent Swirl Metallics Soft White and Metamerism Effects.
