ACRYLONITRILE-BUTADIENE-STYRENE (ABS)

A copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene. ABS possesses outstanding impact strength and high mechanical strength, which makes it suitable for use in tough consumer and industrial products. This material is also great as a substrate for metalizing (applying a chrome-like finish to the plastic part).

Typical Applications:
Appliances, automotive parts, pipe, business machines, telephone components, shower heads, door handles, faucet handles, and automotive front grilles.
