ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
Description

The ABS resin is one of the most widely used and versatile thermoplastics with color of opaque ivory. It is made up of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. The proportions of the monomers typically range from 25% to 40% acrylonitrile, 10%–30% butadiene, and 30%–60% styrene. The ABS resin has excellent toughness and rigidity, low creep, high dimensional stability, low weight, and good resistance to acids, alkalis, and abrasion.

Features
  • High Rigidity & Impact Resistance:It remains hard, rigid, and tough even at low temperatures.
  • High Applicability due to its low melting point.
  • Good Bonding Performance with other materials. e.g., surface printing, coating treatment.
  • Good Insulating Properties
Applications

The ABS resin is a good material source for automotive trim components, drain-waste-vent pipe systems, bumpers, housings and covers, electronic assemblies, prototypes, musical instruments, building & construction, vacuum-formed parts, transportation industries, toys, household and consumer goods, and so on.
