Our markets : ABS
The raw material for ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
Mostly known through its use in Lego, ABS is the plastic of choice for designers looking for superior aesthetics and excellent mechanical properties such as heat- and impact resistance. The acrylonitrile in ABS provides chemical and thermal stability, while the butadiene adds toughness and strength. The styrene gives the finished polymer a nice, glossy finish.
ABS and SAN
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) are engineering plastics widely used in the automotive industry, household appliances, toys and office equipment. Mostly known through its use in Lego, it is the plastic of choice for designers looking for superior aesthetics and excellent mechanical properties such as heat- and impact resistance. Specialty resins in this category include acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) and acrylonitrile-ethylene/propylene rubber-styrene (AES).
