- Acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene, or ABS is a common thermoplastic used to make light,
rigid, molded products such as pipes, golf club heads , automotive body
parts, wheel covers, enclosures, protective head gear, and toys
including LEGO bricks.
- ABS is derived from
acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.
- Acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene is the plastic from which Lego bricks are
made.
- ABS resins are hard,
rigid, and tough, even at low temperatures.
- Various grades of
these amorphous, medium-priced thermoplastics are available offering
different levels of impact strength, heat resistance, flame retardance,
and platability.
- The three components
of ABS can be used in different amounts to generate ABS with different
properties.
- ABS is manufactured
in one of three ways - Emulsion polymerization, continuous- mass
polymerization, suspension polymerization.
- Although ABS resins
are most commonly associated with injection molding, they can also be
blow molded or extruded into sheet for
thermoforming
applications.
- Processing the
resins is dependent, to a great degree, on the grade of ABS resin being
used and on the end-use requirements of the
application.
- Its high mechanical
strength makes it ideal for use in tough consumer applications
Worldwide, the automotive industry is the largest
user accounting
for 25%-30% of demand.
- It is also used in
the construction industry and for making large recreational products
such as boats and mobile homes.
- ABS resins offer
cost-effective processing and increased end-use performance for
applications in a variety of market segments,
including automotive,
small and large appliances, information technology equipment, consumer
electronics, building and
construction, medical and office
furniture.
- Major markets
include appliances and electrical/electronic parts, with lesser use in
autos and recreational vehicles, pipe and fittings,
and
miscellaneous consumer products.
- Most markets for ABS
are mature, but the products continue to find new applications,
spearheaded by the replacement of painted
parts in end markets such
as automotive parts.
- An important market
is the automobile industry with growing use in recreational
vehicles.
- The ABS market has
evolved into a general purpose sector, for which cost and productivity
are the most important factors, and an
engineering plastics sector,
which is generating most of the industry’s growth.
