ABS ( Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene )
ABS has good chemical and stress resistance. It combines
toughness with rigidity and creep resistance. Easily thermo-formed resulting in excellent mould
detail. Easily machined, die cut, routed, sanded, buffed and polished.
ABS Sheet Characteristics
- 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, alkalis
and many acids (Except strong oxidizing acids) - ABS is easily machined to close tolerances, is tough, dimensionally stable and may be
thermoformed
ABS Sheet Applications
- Automotive interior and exterior
- Aircraft interior trims
- Home appliances
- Architectural model buildings & Prototype Models
- Luggage
- Machine parts and rollers
- Pipes & fittings
- Trays
