ABS plastic is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with extremely wide applications and is currently the polymer with the largest output and the most extensive use. ABS is a terpolymer of Acrylonitrile, Butadiene and Styrene. Its English name is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Acrylonitrile(acrylonitrile), Butadiene(butadiene), and Styrene(styrene), so it is called ABS.
What is ABS plastic? What are its characteristics?
ABS is one of the five major synthetic resins. It has excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, low-temperature resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties. It also features easy processing, stable product dimensions, good surface gloss, and is easy to paint and color. Moreover, it can undergo secondary processing such as surface metal spraying, electroplating, welding, hot pressing and bonding. It is widely used in industrial fields such as machinery, automobiles, electronic appliances, instruments and meters, textiles and construction, and is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with extremely wide applications.
ABS material, also known as ABS engineering plastic, is an opaque ivory-colored granular material. Its products can be painted in various colors and have high gloss. The relative density of ABS is about 1.05 and it has a low water absorption rate. ABS has good adhesion with other materials and is easy to be surface printed, coated and plated. The oxygen index of ABS is 18 to 20. It is a flammable polymer with a yellow flame, black smoke and a special odor.
ABS resin is a slightly yellow solid with certain toughness, and its density is approximately 1.04 to 1.06g/cm ³. It has a relatively strong resistance to the corrosion of acids, alkalis and salts, and can also withstand the dissolution of organic solvents to a certain extent. ABS resin can perform normally in an environment ranging from -25℃ to 60℃, and it has excellent formability. The products processed from it have a smooth surface and are easy to dye and electroplate. Therefore, it can be used in daily necessities such as the shells of household appliances and toys. Common Lego bricks are made of ABS. ABS resin can be blended with various resins to form blends, such as PC/ABS, ABS/PVC, PA/ABS, PBT/ABS, etc., generating new properties and application fields. For instance, when ABS resin is mixed with PMMA, transparent ABS resin can be produced.
ABS resin is currently the polymer with the largest output and the widest application. It organically unifies the various properties of PS, SAN and BS, and has excellent mechanical properties with balanced toughness, hardness and rigidity. ABS is A terpolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. A stands for acrylonitrile, B for butadiene and S for styrene.
ABS has good electrical insulation and is almost unaffected by temperature, humidity and frequency. It can be used in most environments. At the same time, it is a thermoplastic with excellent processing performance and can be processed by common methods. It is widely used in the fields of automobiles, electronic appliances and building materials. The shells of mobile phones are also mostly made of ABS engineering plastic.
