ABS — Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Engineering thermoplastic combining the rigidity and processability of styrene with the toughness of butadiene rubber. Supplied by grade family, with the flow and impact profile confirmed before order.
Grade families
| Family | Character | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| General purpose injection | Balanced flow and impact | Housewares, toys, enclosures |
| High impact | Higher rubber content | Automotive interior, luggage, tools |
| Heat resistant | Higher heat deflection temperature | Parts exposed to heat, automotive |
| Plating grade | Surface prepared for electroplating | Sanitary fittings, decorative trim |
| Extrusion grade | Higher melt strength | Sheet, pipe, profile, refrigerator liner |
| Flame retardant | UL rated | Electrical and electronic housings |
Parameters confirmed before order
- Melt flow index, with test conditions
- Notched Izod impact strength
- Heat deflection temperature
- Tensile strength and modulus
- Flammability rating, where specified
Drying
ABS is hygroscopic. Undried material gives silver streaking and a drop in impact strength. Drying conditions are stated on the technical data sheet supplied with each grade.
