ABS – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

High Impact Strength ABS

ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a member of the Styrene family. It shares many properties of polystyrene, the main difference being that it is considerably tougher and more resistant to impact, even at temperatures of up to – 40ºC (for special-grade ABS). The standard stock holding of ABS plastic sheets is white, however other colours are available on request, master batch to be matched and a minimum of 3 tons required. Black can be ordered at a minimum volume of 1 to 1.5 tons.

Key features of ABS 

Impact Resistant

Even at low temperatures, ideal working temperature range: 18°C to 25°C

Strong Hard & Rigid

ABS Plastic sheets have  improved rigidity as thickness increases

Scratch & Cracking Resistant

Reasonably scratch-resistant & resistant to environmental stress cracking influences

UV Resistant

Can be made more UV resistant to reduce the likelihood of yellowing (discoloration) & brittleness

Highly Shock Absorbent

Because of the butadiene rubber

Vacuum Formable Material

Easy to vacuum form & process. Continuous working temperature range: -30ºC to 90ºC

Can Be Printed or Bonded

Suitable for digital and screen printing. Specialised bonding process and suitable to glue.

ABS finishes and bonding?

Extruded ABS material, can be readily punched, cold bent, sawn, drilled and milled on conventional metalworking or wood-working machines. Preference is given to ultrasonic techniques. Bonding with adhesives: Articles can be bonded together with the aid of solvents but this applies only to articles produced from the same material.

Applications of ABS

We extrude the best ABS Plastic sheets, which is one of the most widely used plastics. As a result of its high impact resistance and suitability for heavy duty applications ABS is particularly suitable for vacuum forming,  with wide acceptance in the automotive industries. Added UV coating for protection means the printing and display markets can take advantage as ABS plastic still out performs even under extreme weather conditions .
