Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a tough sheet (extruded rod is also available) with good impact resistance down to low temperatures. It is processed with ease and versatility, in particular thermoforming where it is capable of a deep draw and maintaining a good definition. It can be worked using conventional metal working equipment including, turning, drilling, milling, sawing, boring, die-cutting, routing and shearing (using high speed carbide-tipped tools where applicable). ABS sheet is available with a choice of surface finishes. Modified grades are also available to increase UV resistance or to improve its fire rating. Please note, whilst every care is taken to keep ABS in stable conditions, due to it's hygroscopic qualities it may require drying before thermoforming.   Properties Applications High rigidity and impact strength Excellent abrasion resistance Excellent electrical properties, moisture and creep resistance ABS has good chemical and stress cracking resistance to inorganic salt solutions, alkalis and many acids. (Except strong oxidizing acids) ABS is easily machined to close tolerances, is tough, dimensionally stable and may be thermoform Automotive interior and exterior Laboratory equipment Office accessories Toys Aircraft interior trims Luggage Machine parts and rollers Architectural model buildings
