Offering one of the highest aesthetics, gloss and depth of image in the industry, our Weather-X ML200 may consist of 3-5 layers but is typically 3 consisting of clear acrylic, colored acrylic and ABS. Key properties are surface hardness, chemical resistance, weatherability, toughness and excellent formability.

Applications:
Include; RV, automotive, transportation and marine industries.

Processing:
Surface Temp = 325-350°F
Mold Temp = 150-175°F
De-mold @ 170°F
Mold shrink is .004-.008 in/in.
Oven heaters on gloss side should be somewhat lower than on the substrate side. The sheet must be fully saturated with heat before forming.

Finishing:
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, acrylic capped sheet should be clamped during drilling. For cutting/trimming Weather-X ML 200 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.

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

Colors, Textures and Capabilities:
The surface is typically high gloss. Colors include Solids, Granite, Pearlescent, Swirl, Metallics, Soft White and Metamerism effects.
