ABS
sheets is the most widely used engineering thermoplastic today. ABS is
formed by the polymerisation of styrene and acrylonitrile on to
thermoplastic rubber which is then melt compounded with styrene
acrylonitrile. The
combinations of the copolymers gives ABS excellent surface appearance,
stronger, stiffer and tougher than high impact polystyrene and is also
superior to it in its resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. It has good impact strength, formability, stiffness, excellent aesthetic
qualities, and toughness, plus general purpose, low cost material.
Applications include aircraft interior trim, cassette holders, tote
bins and trays, automotive parts, luggage, and more. | | ABS is an
extremely versatile thermoplastic. It has good chemical and
stress-cracking resistance. It also combines toughness with rigidty and
creep resistance. The strength of ABS depends on temperature. ABS is
easily thermoformed and lends itself to remarkable reproduction of mold
detail. ABS
can be process with ease and versatility. Can be machined, turned,
drilled, milled, sawed, bored, die-cut, routed and sheared using high
speed carbide-tipped tools. ABS can be machined finished by filing,
grinding, sanding, buffing and polishing. |
