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. Processing: Surface Temp = 325-350°F, Mold Temp = 150 - 175°F, De-mold @ 170°F Mold shrink is 0.004-0.008 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/profile 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 ML500 sheet with CNC or air routers, a standard solid carbide fiberglass router - diamondcut tool can be used. Routing parts in a CNC environment is best done with chipbreaker-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. The colors are Solids, Granite, Pearlescent, Swirl, Metallics, Soft White and Metamerism Effects. |
