Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)   is an opaque engineering thermoplastic widely used in electronic housings, auto parts, consumer products, pipe fittings, lego toys and many more.

ABS is an impact-resistant engineering thermoplastic & amorphous polymer. ABS is made up of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene:

• Acrylonitrile: It is a synthetic monomer produced from propylene and ammonia. This component contributes to ABS chemical resistance & heat stability
• Butadiene: It is produced as a by-product of ethylene production from steam crackers. This component delivers toughness & impact strength to ABS polymer
• Styrene: It is manufactured by dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene. It provides rigidity & processability to ABS plastic

  

 Key Applications

Several properties like high impact strength, heat performance etc. make ABS suitable for use in automotive, home appliances, electronics, building & construction, transportation industries and many more.

• Automotive
• Electronics / Computers
• Appliances
• Households products/ Consumer Goods
• Pipes, Hoses & Fittings
• Sports & Leisures

Typical Properties

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a versatile thermoplastic. It shows excellent mechanical properties. ABS is hard and tough in nature and thus delivers good impact strength. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene offers a high degree of surface quality. Apart from these characteristics, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene exhibits good electrical insulating properties.
