About the material ABS
Following are the characteristics of ABS materials:
- Excellent impact resistance
- Strong and durable
- Good flexibility
- Good paintability
- Easy processing
- Resistant to acids and alkalis
- Low cost
Available Materials
ABS is a common thermoplastic that is easy to process and manufacture. CNC ABS is highly recommended for structural functional parts that require excellent impact resistance, high strength and stiffness.
ABS
ABS (CNC) has good mechanical properties and excellent impact resistance. It is commonly used to prototype parts prior to injection-molding.
Note: ABS plastic is a biocompatible and recyclable material. It does not have its own plastic number.
Applications for ABS plastic
ABS plastic also has important applications in electronics due to its durability and high-quality surface finish, such as cell phones, computer housings, keyboards, printer housings and so on.
Due to its strength and high temperature resistance, ABS plastic is often used to manufacture automotive instrument panels, lights, body shells, etc.
Because it can be sterilized and resistant to a variety of chemicals, so like medical equipment shells, surgical instruments, etc. are often selected ABS plastic for CNC machining.
Because of the safety and durability of ABS material, it is widely used in the toy manufacturing industry.
For example, TV shells, washing machine panels, refrigerator door panels, etc. will also be processed and manufactured using strong and durable ABS plastic.
ABS plastic is also used in sporting goods and musical instruments. For example, such as helmets, protective gear, some musical instruments and their components (such as clarinet keys, piano movement and guitar plectrum) are made of ABS, because ABS has excellent machinability and surface treatment properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. It is an impact-resistant engineering thermoplastic. It has an amorphous polymer. ABS is made up of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene:
Acrylonitrile: It is a synthetic monomer. It is produced from propylene and ammonia. This component contributes to the chemical resistance & heat stability of ABS.
Butadiene: It is produced as a by-product of ethylene production from steam crackers. This component delivers toughness & impact strength to ABS polymer.
Styrene: It is manufactured by dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene. It provides rigidity & processability to ABS plastic.
ABS is produced by emulsion or continuous mass technique. The chemical formula of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is (C8H8·C4H6·C3H3N)n. The natural material is an opaque ivory color. It is readily colored with pigments or dyes.
Very good resistance to diluted acid and alkalis
Moderate resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons
Poor resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons and alcohols.
ABS Recycling Code 9ABS plastic is a biocompatible and recyclable material. It does not have its own plastic number. Products made from ABS use recycling code #9. ABS is 100% recyclable. Recycled ABS can be blended with virgin materials to produce products at a lower cost while maintaining high quality.
ABS is considered non-toxic and non-hazardous. It does not contain any known carcinogens. There are no known adverse health effects associated with exposure to ABS. It is stable and non-leaching.
ABS is a strong and rigid plastic that offers a high-quality, scratch-resistant surface finish. It is also dimensionally stable across a wide range of temperatures, ensuring that it does not warp. Its high rigidity and strength make it resistant to deformation under both tensile and compressive loads.
