Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)

ABS is an ideal material of choice for various structural applications, thanks to its several physical properties such as:

• High rigidity
• Good impact resistance, even at low temperatures
• Good insulating properties
• Good weldability
• Good abrasion and strain resistance
• High dimensional stability (Mechanically strong and stable over time)
• High surface brightness and excellent surface aspect

ABS shows excellent mechanical properties i.e. it is hard and tough in nature and thus delivers good impact strength. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene offers a high degree of surface quality. Apart from these characteristics, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene exhibits good electrical insulating properties. 

Chemical Properties of ABS

• Very good resistance to diluted acid and alkalis
• Moderate resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons
• Poor resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated Hydrocarbons and alcohols
