Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS Plastic): Uses
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.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
ABS is a terpolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene. The proportions can vary from 15% to 35% acrylonitrile, 5% to 30% butadiene and 40% to 60% styrene. The result is a long chain of polybutadiene crisscrossed with shorter chains of poly (styrene-co-acrylonitrile).
Machine Grade ABS Plastic - Emco Industrial Plastics
ABS machine grade is an economical engineering plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. The three compounds that makeup ABS are acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene plastic. ABS is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness are required.

Plating on acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) plastic: a
ABS is a thermoplastic copolymer consisting of three different monomer units, acrylonitrile (ACN), butadiene (BTD) and styrene (STE) ( Figure 10) [88], where their proportions can vary from 15% to
- What is ABS plastic used for?
- Used to manufacture some of the most durable and widely used plastic products on the market today, ABS is a premier choice for plastic products and parts across myriad applications and industries. Emco Plastics provides ABS plastic sheets in a variety of sizes and thicknesses for use as a base material in numerous types of fabrication projects.
- What is the performance of ABS polymer?
- The performance of ABS polymer is characterised by toughness and impact resistance, even at low temperatures, good stiffness and machinability. Ensinger processes ABS plastic into various shapes, mainly in the form of ABS sheets and rods.
- What is ABS material?
- ABS material is an amorphous terpolymer formed by the combination of three compounds: Acrylonitrile, Butadiene and Styrene. Using different combinations of these monomers, wide ranging different plastic ABS types can be manufactured offering a wide spectrum of different ABS properties by means of branching or copolymerization.
- How does Ensinger process ABS plastic?
- Ensinger processes ABS plastic into various shapes, mainly in the form of ABS sheets and rods. Ensinger processes these semi-finished ABS products in-house using CNC machines to produce high precision finished ABS parts. If you prefer to do the processing yourself, you can also purchase the stock shapes directly.
- What is ABS thermoplastic?
- ABS thermoplastic is created from a mixture of three monomer units: As a thermoplastic, ABS may be melted to make it more pliable and easier to mold. Once cooled, it becomes solid and keeps the molded shape. ABS won’t degrade when re-melted and re-used, which means that processes involving this material generate almost no waste.
- How does Ensinger manufacture ABS products?
- Ensinger processes these semi-finished ABS products in-house using CNC machines to produce high precision finished ABS parts. If you prefer to do the processing yourself, you can also purchase the stock shapes directly. In addition to this, Ensinger also manufacutres customised plastic profiles.
