About Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a common thermoplastic polymer, derived from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, the glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F), and it is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. Compared with other common polymers, ABS offers excellent mechanical properties, for example, impact resistance, toughness, and rigidity. ABS offers great chemical resistance and is resistant to aqueous acids, alkalis, concentrated hydrochloric and phosphoric acids, and animal/vegetable/mineral oils.
ABS Plastic is also a durable plastic used in a wide variety of manufacturing. Generally speaking, ABS has two major categories, one is for extrusion, and another is for injection molding, it offers excellent mechanical properties within a temperature range from −20 to 80 °C (−4 to 176 °F). Extrusion ABS can be extruded into sheets, blocks, rods, and tubes in different colors and sizes. Injection ABS can be made to any plastic part according to the injection mold.
There are many ABS grades according to different performance, for example, Machine Grade ABS, Forming Grade ABS (vacuum formable ABS), Flame Retardant ABS, ESD ABS (anti-static), 3D printing Grade ABS, etc. Machine Grade ABS is normally extruded into sheets, blocks, and rods, and is easily machined by common machining processes including turning, drilling, milling, sawing, electroplating, and dyeing/painting.
As one of the popular engineering plastics, ABS is used frequently in wide applications, such as Automotive, Aerospace and Aircraft, Electronics, Construction, Medical and Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage, and Home Appliances.
