Weather-X 400 is an ABS substrate capped with a weatherable film. The substrate properties will depend on the material specified for use. Primex offers substrates of Prime, Utility and or Wide Spec material. This product is ideal for exterior and interior thermoformed parts requiring high gloss appearance and retention as well as scratch resistance. Primex also offers this product with a low gloss appearance. Applications: Some applications for this product include Bathtubs and Surrounds, Spas, Countertops, Wall Panels, Doors, Windows, Siding, Luggage carriers, Tractor Roofs, Dashboards and Sanitary Ware. Processing: Prime Weather-X 400 will process the same as ABS, depending the grade that is used for the substrate. It is suggested that slightly cooler oven temperatures on the side of the film be utilized. Finishing: Parts made from Prime ABS 400 may be joined with machine screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, rivets and spring steel fasteners. Thread cutting or threadforming screws is an economical means of securing the joints. Formed parts may be bonded with Methylene Chloride if maximum impact strength is not required. Press and snap techniques as well as sonic welding are other methods of bonding this product. Please contact your Primex Plastics representative for more information on finishing, fabricating or the thermoforming process. Colors, Textures and Capabilities: Colors are readily available in white, off-white, brown and black. Specific color matches are available upon request. Prime Weather-X 400 is available in thicknesses of .060 - .400 in. and widths up to 115".
