Plastic Board ABS – acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
ABS has considerable surface hardness, high impact resistance and good oil resistance. Examples of the use of ABS include:
Motorcycle and vehicle parts such as trims, bumpers and covers, electronic parts, toys, musical instruments and consumer goods
with increased demands on impact resistance.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a synthetic terpolymer. It consists of the three monomers: acrylonitrile, 1.3 butadiene and styrene. ABS is
dimensionally stable and is easy to saw, drill and cut. Coating with metals and polymers is also possible (e.g. chrome-plated surfaces).
ABS can be drawn very well, whereby due to its hygroscopic properties (water absorption up to 1.5%), sufficient
drying should be taken care of in advance. The melting point of ABS is approx. 230 °C to 250 °C, the continuous operating temperature at max. 85 to 100 °C.
