Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
ABS is a strong, tough thermoplastic with good impact resistance and surface finish. It’s commonly used in automotive interiors, consumer electronics, and toys. It offers a balance of rigidity and toughness and can be easily machined and painted.
- Durable with excellent impact resistance
- Easily mouldable and paintable
- Good surface appearance
- Electrically insulative
• Automotive trim parts
• Consumer electronics (e.g., TV casings)
• 3D printing
• LEGO bricks
