Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
ABS Plastic Properties | View Tensile Strength & Impact
It combines its light weight with very high impact strength, high tensile strength and stiffness, and excellent formability and ductility. ABS Sheet for O&P– ABS has excellent thermoforming characteristics. Because of this, it is commonly used for back braces and fabric brace stiffening panels.

- Why should you choose ABS plastic & ABS-like materials?
- We offer ABS and ABS-like materials through the following services: Impact resistance: ABS plastic is known for its excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for applications that require durability and toughness. Strength and stiffness: ABS has good mechanical properties, including high strength and stiffness.
- Is ABS plastic a terpolymer?
- ABS plastic is a terpolymer composed of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, each imparting different properties to the plastic. Acrylonitrile provides high strength, thermal stability, and chemical stability; butadiene contributes toughness and impact resistance; styrene offers ease of processing, high gloss, and high strength.
- What is ABS plastic?
- ABS plastic, as a thermoplastic widely used in many fields, has become the preferred material in many industries due to its unique chemical structure and superior physical properties.
- What are the advantages of ABS plastic?
- The versatility of ABS plastic is another of its distinguishing features. It can be easily molded and machined into almost any shape and size, catering to an extensive range of applications. From toys to automotive parts, ABS plastic’s adaptability makes it a universal solution across industries. 4. Thermal Stability
- Why is ABS plastic a problem?
- ABS plastic is durable and long-lasting, attributes that become problematic when the material’s lifecycle ends. ABS is not readily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for many years, contributing to the growing plastic pollution problem. Consequently, ensuring the responsible disposal and recycling of ABS plastic products is crucial.
- How is ABS plastic made?
- The production of ABS plastic mainly includes several steps such as raw material preparation, polymerization reaction, granulation and post-processing. First, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene monomers are mixed in proportion and polymerized under the action of a catalyst.
