Thermoformable material
ABS plastic : a rigid, high-performance material for industry
TheAcrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a engineering thermoplastic widely used in industry for its rigidity, durability and dimensional stability. This industrial polymer combines mechanical performance and lightness, offering a excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
Visit Industrial thermoforming, It can be used to design customised technical parts and packaging solutions robust.
Key properties of ABS
Impact resistance and durability
This rigid polymer effectively absorbs impacts without cracking, even under stress. It is a reliable solution for parts subjected to repeated mechanical stress, such as protective shells or structural components.
Rigidity and dimensional stability
This technical material retains its shape and precision, even after prolonged use. Its geometric stability is ideal for prototyping and industrialisation.
Aesthetic surface finish
This industrial resin offers a wide range of smooth or textured, gloss or matt finishes with a high-end visual effect, ideal for bodywork parts for the transport sector or for communication objects.
Heat resistant
This thermoplastic resists heat while retaining its rigidity, making it suitable for a variety of environments, including the automotive, food processing and medical industries.
Easy to convert
The material thermoforms easily, enabling complex parts to be mass-produced with exemplary regularity. It is also an ideal basis for the design of bespoke parts.
Specific treatments
ABS incorporates a number of specific solutions to meet a wide range of industrial requirements, such as UV protection, fire resistance, soft-touch finish and anti-microbial treatment.
