Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
is a versatile engineering plastic known for its impact resistance and can be found in products like LEGO bricks, automotive parts, and consumer appliances.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) comes in various grades and specifications, each tailored to different applications and performance requirements. These different ABS specifications can have variations in terms of mechanical properties, impact resistance, heat resistance, flame retardancy, and other characteristics. Manufacturers formulate different ABS grades by adjusting the proportions of the acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene components, as well as by incorporating additives to achieve specific properties.
