    Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a versatile non-transparent polymer that exemplifies both high strength and exceptional impact resistance. Its composition, with butadiene providing flexibility and impact resistance and styrene-acrylonitrile enhancing strength, stability, and heat resistance in certain variations, allows ABS to straddle the line between commodity plastic and engineering grades. With a broad thermoforming processing window, ABS can be customized for a wide range of applications.

    This low-cost engineering plastic is not only easy to machine and fabricate but also an optimal choice for structural applications that necessitate superior impact resistance, strength, and stiffness. Widely favored for machining pre-production prototypes due to its remarkable dimensional stability, ABS exhibits convenient properties for painting and gluing. Moreover, ABS is available in a smooth/smooth finish or with a haircell texture on one side, the latter resembling the texture of an orange peel, providing a subtle tactile variation. ABS seamlessly accommodates the vacuum forming process, solidifying its position as a preferred material in various applications.

    Grades

    • Standard ABS: This is the most common grade of ABS, offering a balance of mechanical toughness, impact resistance, and heat resistance.
    • Flame Retardant ABS: This grade is formulated with additives to enhance its resistance to fire, making it suitable for applications where fire safety is a concern.
    • Conductive ABS: This type of ABS contains conductive additives that allow it to dissipate static electricity, making it useful in applications where static buildup must be avoided.
    • High-Impact ABS: High-impact ABS is formulated to have improved impact resistance compared to standard ABS, making it suitable for applications requiring extra durability.
    • Weatherable ABS: This grade of ABS is engineered to withstand exposure to various weather conditions, such as UV radiation and moisture, without significant degradation.
    • FDA-Compliant ABS: ABS grades that comply with the regulations set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can be used in applications involving food contact or in the food processing industry.
    • Extrusion Grade ABS: This grade is specifically designed for the extrusion process, enabling the production of ABS sheets, pipes, and other extruded products.
