About ABS

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is formed by the polymerization of Acrylonitrile, Butadiene, and Styrene monomers. Chemically, this thermoplastic family of plastics is called "terpolymers", in that they involve the combination of three different monomers to form a single material that draws from the properties of all three. ABS possesses outstanding impact strength and high mechanical strength, which makes it so suitable for tough consumer products. Additionally, ABS has good dimensional stability and electrical insulating properties.

ABS Resistance

Excellent resistance (no attack) to Glycerin, Inorganic Salts, Alkalis, Many Acids, Most Alcohols and Hydrocarbons
Limited resistance (moderate attack and suitable for short term use only) to Weak Acids
Poor resistance (not recommended for use with) Strong Acids and Solvents, Ketones, Aldehydes, Esters, and some Chlorinated Hydrocarbons

ABS Fabrication

It can be thermo-formed, pressure formed, blow molded, sheared, sawed, drilled, or even "cold stamped"
Joints can be ultrasonic welded, thermo-welded, and chemically bonded
Impact resistant
Commonly used for telephone bodies, safety helmets, piping, furniture, car components, TV casings, radios, control panels, and similar
Valve bodies, material handling equipment
