ABS

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

ABS is an easily machined, tough, low cost rigid thermoplastic material with high impact strength, ideal for turning, drilling, milling, sawing, die-cutting, shearing .

Natural and Black ABS are made from FDA approved material. FDA White and custom colors quoted upon request. Flame Retardant ABS quoted upon request .

General Applications:
* Machine parts
* Prototypes
* Tote bins and trays
* Automotive parts
* Business machine housing and parts
* Aircraft interior trim
* Industrial enclosures

It has good chemical and stress cracking resistance to inorganic salt solutions, alkalis, acids, and some oils. ABS has excellent abrasion resistance; electrical properties, moisture and creep resistance .
