About ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS combines good impact strength, dimensional stability and a premium cosmetic finish at a moderate price. It machines and glues well and is one of the easiest engineering resins to process. Its main limitation is poor UV/weather resistance, so outdoor parts usually call for ASA or a capped/UV-stabilized grade.
Common applications
- Appliance and power-tool housings
- Automotive interior trim and consoles
- Consumer electronics enclosures
- Toys and recreational products
- Pipe, fittings and sheet
Typical properties
| Impact strength | Good to high |
|---|---|
| Heat (HDT @ 1.8 MPa) | ~80–100°C by grade |
| Clarity | Opaque |
| UV/outdoor | Poor (use ASA) |
| Relative cost | Low-moderate |
Property ranges are general guidance and vary by grade and supplier; a polymer chemist confirms the exact spec against the data sheet and certificate of analysis for your application.
