Product highlight: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Machined Plastics

By aciplastics on February 13, 2018 in ABS

For prototyping or when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness is required, ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is the plastic of choice.

ABS has excellent dimensional stability making it the perfect plastics material to use for your next prototyping project. It’s also easy to paint and glue. Natural (beige) and Black ABS are FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.

Advantages of using ABS in plastics manufacturing projects include:

High impact strength
Outstanding formability
Excellent Ductility
Performs well in high and low temperatures
Great for dielectric welding
Resistant to many chemical and plasticizers
Good machinability
Pleasing aesthetic qualities

Even with all these features, it’s a relatively low cost material. Learn more about ABS engineered plastics and get inspired for your next plastics project.
