ABS (Acrylanitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS is an amorphous polymer with good Impact Strength and excellent appearance. It is easy to process and is widely used for computer housings, small appliances, automotive interior trim, and medical components. It is available in flame retardant grades, and medical grades. ABS has poor chemical resistance.
