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

N

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.

N

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.

N

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.

N

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.

N

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.

N

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.
