Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, commonly known as ABS, is a type of thermoplastic polymer. It is made from three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. ABS is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to impact, making it a popular choice for various applications, including toys, automotive parts, and household goods. ABS can be easily molded and shaped when heated, allowing for versatile manufacturing processes. It is also resistant to chemicals and has good electrical insulating properties. Due to these characteristics, ABS is widely used in industries such as electronics, construction, and consumer products.
