Surface Temp = 325
350ºF, Mold Temp = 150 175ºF, De mold @
170ºF and mold shrink is .004 --.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.

Technical Details & Test Data
- 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 diamond cut tool can be used. Routing parts in
a CNC environment is best done with chip breaker type, solid
carbide tools..
