Technical Details & Test Data

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.

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
350ºF. For best results the mold temperature
should be 150
190ºF. In some cases it is necessary to dry the
sheet before forming.
