ABS is the acronym for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (which is a lot easier to say and write). ABS is a common thermoplastic polymer which is prized for its toughness and impact resistance.

ABS has excellent machining qualities and comes in a wide variety of grades and colours. This plastic can be injection molded, extruded, molded, pressure formed, sawed, drilled, turned, stamped, milled, etc.

What are the Advantages of Using ABS Plastic?

Ease of fabrication and colouring
Good electrical properties
High impact resistance; tough and rigid
Lightweight
Good chemical resistance
Very low moisture absorption
Good weather resistance

Common ABS Plastic Applications

Safety equipment
Automotive parts
Machine guards
Medical equipment
Prototyping

Next time you pick up a plastic item, check the bottom — if its recycle number is a 9, then it contains ABS plastic.
