Technical Details & Test Data
- Finishing
Parts made from Prime ABS Weather
X 400 may be joined
with machine screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, rivets and
spring steel fasteners. Thread cutting or thread
forming
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.
