Comprehensive Analysis and Typical Grades of Engineering Plastics ABS

ABS is a terpolymer composed of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B) and styrene (S). Among them, acrylonitrile endows the material with hardness, heat resistance and chemical resistance. Butadiene improves the impact resistance and toughness of the material. Styrene improves the processing fluidity and surface gloss. ABS is a high - performance engineering plastic widely used in the fields of electronics and electrical appliances, household appliances, daily necessities. Its excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability and processing properties make it an indispensable material in many industries.
