Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene is an amorphous polymer produced by emulsion or mass polymerisation of acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of polybutadiene.
The most important properties are impact resistance and toughness.
Styrene monomer gives the ABS good processability, acrylonitrile gives it stiffness and heat and chemical resistance, while butadiene makes the product more tough and resilient, even at low temperatures. Changing the proportions of the ABS components and adding specific additives can produce different grades with particular properties. ABS has poor weather resistance and is therefore only recommended for indoor applications.
Typical ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) applications are:
- General: toys, consumer items, telephones, safety helmets.
- Automotive industry: interior door panels, pillars, seat components, grilles, instrument panels, mirror housings.
- Household appliances: kitchen appliance and vacuum cleaner housings, control panels for household appliances.
- Extrusion: sheets, wires for 3D printers, tractor roofs, profiles, internal liners of fridges, suitcases.
