acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic is a versatile thermoplastic known for its strength and durability. It is made from three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. This combination gives ABS excellent impact resistance and toughness, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including toys, automotive parts, and household items.
ABS is also easy to mold and can be processed using various techniques, such as injection molding and 3D printing. Its smooth surface can be easily painted or finished, allowing for aesthetic customization. Additionally, ABS is resistant to chemicals and heat, enhancing its usability in different environments.
