What is ABS Engineering Plastics?

ABS engineering plastics, namely PC-ABS (engineering plastic alloy), in the chemical industry Chinese called plastic alloy, the reason it is named PC-ABS because this material has PC resin excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability and impact resistance, but also ABS resin excellent processing fluidity. Therefore, applications in thin-walled and complex shape products can maintain their excellent performance, as well as to maintain the molding of plastics and material composed of esters. The biggest disadvantages of ABS engineering plastics are heavy quality and poor thermal conductivity. Its molding temperature is taken from the temperature between the two raw materials, that is, 240-265 degrees, the temperature is too high ABS will decompose, too low PC material mobility is poor.


Introduction to ABS Engineering Plastics


Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a general-purpose thermoplastic polymer characterized by good rigidity, high impact strength, and resistance to ABS Heat, low temperature, chemical resistance, mechanical strength and electrical performance, easy to process, processing size stability and surface gloss, easy to paint, color, but also can be sprayed metal, electroplating, welding and bonding and other secondary processing performance. Because ABS's characteristics combine the characteristics of its three components, it has excellent comprehensive performance, and become one of the preferred plastics for electrical components, home appliances, computers and instrumentation.


Interpretation of ABS engineering plastics


ABS engineering plastic is generally opaque, the appearance of light ivory, non-toxic, tasteless, both tough, hard, rigid characteristics, slow combustion, flame yellow, there is black smoke, after burning plastic softening, burning, issued a special cinnamon smell, but no melting drop phenomenon.


The comprehensive performance of ABS engineering plastics


ABS engineering plastics have excellent comprehensive performance, excellent impact strength, dimensional stability, electrical performance, wear resistance, anti-chemical, dyeing, molding and mechanical processing. ABS resins are resistant to water, inorganic salts, alkalis and acids, insoluble in most alcohols and hydrocarbon solvents, but easily soluble in aldehydes, ketones, esters and certain chlorinated hydrocarbons.


The disadvantages of ABS engineering plastics


Disadvantages of ABS engineering plastics: low thermal deformation temperature, flammability, poor weather resistance.
