ABS

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is an opaque thermoplastic polymer material obtained from Acrylonitrile, 1,3-Butadiene and Styrene monomers. It is resistant to heat and chemicals thanks to its strong and durable structure even at low temperatures and is easy to process. Properties ABS owes some of its superior qualities to being the most popular plastic material and an indispensable part of our everyday life: • flexible design • excellent surface quality • bright and deep colors • interesting feel and touch • dimensional stability • chemical resistance • impact resistance Today, ABS is a versatile material and has become part of modern life in almost all markets. Scope of application ABS has many uses in everyday life: • bodies of electrical devices • kitchenware • telecommunication tools • toys • automotive interior and exterior parts • furniture, construction, electricity sectors Other important areas where ABS is used are as fallows: • automotive industry • electricity-electronics sector (especially white goods and computer / communication electronics) Processes ABS is produced by using emulsion or continuous mass technique. The most important process in the world is the emulsion process. ABS can be processed by injection molding or extrusion technique.
