Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is an opaque engineering thermoplastic formed by the copolymerization of Acrylonitrile, Butadiene, and Styrene typically used for injection molding applications. Usually, it is composed of half the amount of Styrene with the remaining balance divided between Acrylonitrile and Butadiene. ABS possesses low production cost, excellent toughness, temperature stability and solvent resistance properties superior to those of other engineering polymers such as high impact polystyrene. The three monomers involved in the formation of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene play different roles in the performance of material-while Acrylonitrile provides chemical and thermal stability to the polymer, Butadiene enhances its toughness and strength and Styrene imparts a nice and glossy finish. ABS finds applications across various consumer products such as housing appliances (refrigerator, washing machine etc.), luggage, camera bodies, battery cases, packing crates, radio, various furniture parts, protective headgear and musical instruments etc. ABS/PC i.e. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene/Polycarbonate blend is a thermoplastic alloy widely used in commercial and industrial applications such as automotive, electronics, telecommunication, etc. where hard yet lightweight and easily processed materials are required.
