What is ABS?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer known for its toughness, impact resistance, and ease of processing. It is widely used in injection molding and is popular in applications requiring durability and a smooth surface finish. ABS is composed of three monomers:
- Acrylonitrile: Provides chemical resistance and heat stability.
- Butadiene: Adds toughness and impact resistance.
- Styrene: Gives rigidity and glossy appearance.
It is also available in different grades, including reinforced versions with fillers for specific applications.
