Product Description
Poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) is a widely used two-phase, three-component thermoplastic resin consisting of a continuous poly(styrene-acrylonitrile) (SAN) matrix with a dispersed polybutadiene rubber phase.
ABS is typically supplied as a white to light-colored solid, pellets, or granules with a smooth appearance. As an amorphous thermoplastic, it offers a good balance of impact resistance, rigidity, toughness, dimensional stability, and processability.
ABS is insoluble in water and generally stable under normal conditions. It is soluble or susceptible to swelling in certain organic solvents, depending on the grade and formulation. Its balanced mechanical properties and ease of processing make ABS widely used in automotive components, electrical and electronic housings, appliances, consumer products, pipes, fittings, and injection-molded parts.
