Overview

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a versatile thermoplastic combining the rigidity of acrylonitrile and styrene with the toughness of butadiene rubber. Excellent impact resistance, good surface finish and easy machinability make it popular for enclosures, housings, prototypes and display components. Available in a wide range of colours. Not suitable for outdoor use without UV stabilisation.
