Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

ABS sheets (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) is the most widely used engineering thermoplastic today. ABS is formed by the polymerisation of styrene and acrylonitrile on to thermoplastic rubber which is then melt compounded with styrene acrylonitrile.

The combinations of the copolymers gives ABS excellent surface appearance, stronger, stiffer and tougher than high impact polystyrene and is also superior to it in its resistance to high temperatures and chemicals.

ABS can be process with ease and versatility. Can be machined, turned, drilled, milled, sawed, bored, die-cut, routed and sheared using high speed carbide-tipped tools. ABS can be machined finished by filing, grinding, sanding, buffing and polishing.

ABS Properties

High rigidity and impact strength
Excellent abrasion resistance
Excellent electrical properties, moisture and creep resistance
ABS has good chemical and stress cracking resistance to inorganic salt solutions, alkalies and many acids. (Except strong oxidizing acids)
ABS is easily machined to close tolerances, is tough, dimensionally stable and may be thermoform

ABS Applications

Automotive interior and exterior Aircraft interior trims
Laboratory equipment Luggage
Office accessories Machine parts and rollers
Toys Architectural model buildings
