Applications

Prime ABS 860FR may be used for interior applications such as
appliance parts, transportation and electronics.

Processing

Prime ABS 860FR has excellent thermoforming characteristics. It
is extremely versatile in nearly all thermoforming operations from
high volume, multi
station rotary machines to single station and
shuttle presses. Pressure forming techniques have also been highly
successful. 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.

Technical Details & Test Data

Finishing

Prime ABS 860FR can be screwed, drilled, routed, punched and
die
cut with conventional tooling. Parts made with Prime ABS
860FR may be joined with machine screws, bolts, nuts, rivets,
and spring steel fasteners. Thread
cutting or thread forming
screws are an economical means for 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 860FR.
