Plastics Profiler – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Plastics Profiler – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, ABS plastic, is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic whose main features are impact resistance, rigidity, high gloss, and low cost compared to other engineering resins.  ABS resins are used in a variety of applications including automotive, appliances, construction, electronics, and business machinery. ABS is a terpolymer formed by the polymerization of acrylonitrile and […]

Plastics Profiler ABS+PC Blends

ABS+PC are blends of the amorphous engineering thermoplastics, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC). ABS+PC is similar in many ways to its component resins, but combines the mechanical and thermal properties of polycarbonate with the processability and economy of ABS.
