Royalite R84/21

ROYALITE® R84/21 thermoplastic sheet is a unique composite of ROYALITE® R84 lowgloss weatherable cap sheet over ROYALITE® R21 high impact ABS substrate. It is ideal for rugged outdoor applications requiring high impact strength and stiffness. R84/21 is available in a variety of standard colors, and custom color matches also are available.

APPLICATIONS:
ROYALITE® R84/21 sheet is currently used for applications in the marine, RV, automotive, agricultural equipment and recreational industries. It can be fabricated into consoles, interior and exterior trim parts, shrouds and many other parts. To assure proper weatherable coverage after forming, R84 cap can be ordered in a variety of thicknesses.

PROCESSING:
ROYALITE® R84/21 rigid, weather-resistant thermoplastic sheet can be processed on virtually all thermoforming equipment from high-volume, multistation rotary machines to hand-operated presses. It is readily hand-formed for prototyping. It is also suitable for use with aluminum and epoxy molds and fine-grain wood molds such as mahogany. Care must be taken in forming so as not to overheat the sheet. Stock temperatures of approximately 320°F-360°F face side and 340°F-380°F back side are recommended for proper forming. As with any thermoplastic material, care should be taken to account for the coefficient of thermal expansion when considering design parameters. Also, it is recommended that 15 mils of R84 weatherable surface remain after forming. Please contact Royalite for data relating to your specific application and equipment.

COLORS & TEXTURES:
ROYALITE® R84/21 is offered in a tremendous range of standard and custom low-gloss colors with a multitude of textures ranging from smooth to deep textured.

FINISHING:
With conventional plastic fabricating tools, it is possible to machine, saw, drill, rout and grind this rigid Royalite sheet. It can be punched and die-cut, and paints can be applied by spray, silk screen or roller coating. For optimum performance, paints formulated for plastics must be used. As long as proper procedures are followed, the material can be joined to other materials, or itself, by adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding, and by mechanical fasteners such as screws and rivets. Please contact Royalite for specific recommendations.
