We often hear about ABS plastic in our lives, but many people don't understand this material very clearly. Let's talk about ABS plastic today.
　　 First of all, what is ABS plastic? ABS plastic is a terpolymer of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). The relative content of the three monomers can be changed at will to make various resins. ABS has the common properties of three components. A makes it resistant to chemical corrosion, heat resistance, and has a certain surface hardness, B makes it have high elasticity and toughness, and S makes it have the processing and molding characteristics of thermoplastics and improve electrical properties . Therefore, ABS plastic is a kind of "tough, hard and rigid" material with easy-to-obtain raw materials, good comprehensive performance, low price, and a wide range of uses. It is obtained in machinery, electrical, textile, automobile, aircraft, ship and other manufacturing industries and chemical industries. It has a wide range of applications.
　　 ABS plastic is non-toxic and tasteless, generally opaque, light ivory color, and can be colored into any other color products with high gloss, so we can see various colors of ABS plastic products on the market. At the same time, it also has many levels, mainly including: general-purpose, electroplating, flame-retardant, transparent, heat-resistant, etc., people can choose according to their needs. Let's take a look at several features of ABS.
　　01 Thermal performance of ABS
　　The heat distortion temperature of ABS plastic is 93~118℃, and the product can be increased by about 10℃ after annealing. ABS can still show a certain degree of toughness at -40℃, and can be used in the temperature range of -40~100℃, and its thermal performance is still very good.
　　02 Mechanical properties of ABS
　　 ABS plastic, commonly known as non-breaking rubber, has excellent mechanical properties, excellent impact strength, excellent wear resistance, and good dimensional stability and toughness.
　　03 Combination of ABS and other materials
　　 ABS has a good combination with other materials, and it is easy to surface printing, coating and plating treatment. Many decorative parts on automobiles use ABS chrome plating process, and the effect is very ideal.
　　 ABS plays an extremely important role in automotive engineering plastics. At present, the global car ABS consumption accounts for more than 30% of the global total consumption, which is really not a small number. After reading so much, do you know more about ABS plastic?
