Introduction
ABS is a thermoplastic polymer that combines the strength of acrylonitrile, the toughness of butadiene, and the processability of styrene. It offers excellent mechanical properties, including high impact resistance, stiffness, and dimensional stability.
Uses
Widely utilized in the automotive industry for manufacturing parts such as interior trim, bumpers, and grilles. It is also commonly used in the production of electronic equipment enclosures, toys, household appliances, and various industrial applications.
Technology
ABS can be processed using injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and thermoforming techniques. It has good melt flow properties, allowing for easy filling of complex molds. Additionally, it can be modified with additives to enhance specific properties such as flame retardancy or UV resistance.
