CYCOLAC MG47 is SABIC's acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), multi-purpose, sold for injection molding. Published melt flow is 5.6 g/10 min, measured at 230°C / 446°F, 3.8 kg, ASTM D1238, and density is 1.04 g/cm³ (ASTM D792). Grades from other producers to ask about include Lustran 348, MAGNUM 342 EZ and MAGNUM 3453. They are not identical, so compare the data sheets and run a trial before switching.

Grades to ask about instead of Cycolac MG47
These grades from other producers have similar published specs. None is a drop-in replacement: additive packages, flow at molding shear rates, color and approvals differ. If your part, drawing or customer approval names Cycolac MG47, any change needs your approval and usually a trial.
| Grade | Producer | Melt flow | Density | Key property | How it compares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lustran 348 | INEOS Styrolution | 5.0 g/10 min (230°C / 446°F, 3.8 kg, ASTM D1238, older UL Prospector copy); MVR 18 cm³/10 min (220°C / 428°F, 10 kg) on the 2025 sheet | 1.05 g/cm³ (ASTM D792) | Notched Izod 5 ft-lb/in (267 J/m) (ASTM D256) | Partial match. High gloss medical ABS (USP Class VI, ISO 10993-1 per INEOS Styrolution); similar flow, slightly lower notched Izod. Altamira, Mexico production. |
| MAGNUM 342 EZ | Trinseo | 6 g/10 min (230°C / 446°F, 3.8 kg, ASTM D1238) | 1.04 g/cm³ (ASTM D792) | Notched Izod 160 J/m (ASTM D256) | Partial match. Mass ABS, heat stabilized; about half the notched Izod of MG47; North and South America. |
| MAGNUM 3453 | Trinseo | 15 g/10 min (220°C / 428°F, 10 kg, ISO 1133) | 1.05 g/cm³ (ISO 1183) | Flexural modulus 2,300 MPa (ISO 178) | General purpose / E&E injection ABS; North America listed. |

What to check before you switch
- Brand owner shown as SABIC on the current data sheet copy; confirm the producer name on the sheet you receive.
- Our property data come from a UL Prospector copy of the SABIC Americas sheet last updated 2018 (hosted by Protolabs); request the current data sheet.
- MG47 carries automotive approvals (Chrysler MS-DB-200, Ford WSS-M4D827-A3, GM GMP.ABS.001/017); substitutes generally do not hold the same OEM specs.
- MAGNUM grades are mass-polymerized ABS; gloss and colorability can differ from MG47, so check color match and appearance.
- Compare melt flow, density and impact only at the same test condition and method (ASTM vs. ISO results differ).
- Ask for the producer's food-contact or regulatory letter for the exact grade if the part needs one.
- Run a trial lot and check shrinkage, cycle time and appearance before you switch production.
Buying Cycolac MG47 or an equivalent
Send us the grade name, your annual volume and ship-to location. A polymer chemist checks the data sheet and we quote Cycolac MG47 where we can source it, or a qualified equivalent, saying clearly which one you would get. Orders start at one gaylord. For background on this resin family see ABS grades and buying guide; for several grades at once, use the resin RFQ template.
