Plastic Parts Finishing

Paintable plastic parts are ABS plastic parts.
Painting
Rigid or hand ABS plastic needs no primer coating.
General acrylic lacquers can be painted properly over
hard ABS plastic in terms of adherence.
1) Use cleaning solvent for paint finish to wash each
part.
2) Apply conventional acrylic color lacquer to part
surface.
3) Follow lacquer directions for required drying time.
(Proper drying temperature range is 60 – 70 °C (140
– 158 °F)).

Sealant Application Areas

Reference
S5JB0A9C01002 Plastic parts employ not only ABS (Acrylonitrile
Butadiene Styrene) plastic but also polypropylene, vinyl,
or the like plastic. Burning test method to identify ABS
plastic is described below.
1) Use a sharp blade to cut off a plastic sliver from the
part at its hidden backside.
2) Hold sliver with pincers and set it on fire.
3) Carefully observe condition of the burning plastic.
4) ABS plastic must raise readily distinguishable back
smoke while burning with its residue suspended in
air temporarily.
5) Polypropylene must raise no readily distinguishable
smoke while burning.
