ABS-Material Reference|Specializes in metal and plastic parts manufacturing via injection mold and CNC machining etc.

ABS

Polymer Type

Thermoplastic

Advantages

Care must be taken not to exceed processing temperatures of approx. 245°C ( 470°F ) so as to avoid decomposition of the material. Colour may not exhibit the same degree of fastness associated with other ABS grades.

Disadvantages

Better fire resistance ( UL = V0 ) than standard grades of ABS. Low notched izod impact strength ( ~ 0.18 KJ/m - 3.4 ft lb/in ) compared with unmodified grades of ABS.
