Prime ABS Film
X has a wide variety of possible exterior applications
from side pillars, spoilers, side molding. It is ideal for any exterior
application requiring a very high gloss or dull finish with UV and
chemical resistance.- Processing
Thermoforming temperatures, mold temperatures, de
molding and mold shrink are about the same as ABS.
However, the film side of the sheet should be exposed to a
minimum amount of heat in the oven of the former.
