ABS plastic performance characteristics

ABS physical properties

ABS is a light yellow granular or bead opaque resin, non-toxic, tasteless, low water absorption, with good comprehensive physical and mechanical properties, such as excellent electrical properties, wear resistance, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and surface gloss, and easy to process. The disadvantage is weather resistance, poor heat resistance, and flammable.

Mechanical properties of ABS plastics

ABS has excellent mechanical properties, excellent impact strength, and can be used at extremely low temperature; ABS has excellent wear resistance, good dimensional stability, and oil resistance, and can be used for bearings under medium load and rotating speed. The creep resistance of ABS is larger than that of PSF and PC, but smaller than that of PA and POM. The bending strength and compressive strength of ABS are poor among the plastics. The mechanical properties of ABS are greatly affected by temperature.

Application scope of ABS

High gloss ABS is used in household appliances such as vacuum cleaner, electric fan, air conditioner, telephone, etc. it is achieved by controlling the rubber particle size R + (smaller) in ABS. Low gloss ABS is used in automobile interior parts such as instrument panel, instrument cover, column, etc. it can reduce the surface micro shrinkage and reduce the surface gloss by filling with coarse filler.
