    ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) : Typical Applications

    Uploaded by

    catiav5r18
    ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) is a common plastic used in automotive interior panels, appliances, electronics, and recreational vehicles. It has good processability, appearance, and impact strength. ABS is produced from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene monomers that provide properties like hardness, chemical resistance, toughness, and strength. It is dried, then injection molded between 210-280°C with mold temperatures of 25-70°C. Major manufacturers include Dow, GE Plastics, Bayer, BASF, Chi Mei, LG Chemical, and Cheil Synthesis.

    ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene)

    Typical Applications

    ● Automotive (instrument and interior trim panels, glove compartment doors, wheel covers,
    mirror housings, etc.)
    ● Refrigerators, small appliance housings and power tools applications (hair dryers,
    blenders, food processors, lawnmowers, etc.)
    ● Telephone housings, typewriter housings, typewriter keys
    ● Recreational vehicles such as golf carts and jet skis.

    Injection Molding Processing Conditions:

    ABS resins are hygroscopic and drying is required prior to processing.


    Drying: Suggested drying conditions are 80 - 90 C (176 - 195 F) for a minimum of 2
    hours. Resin moisture content should be less than 0.1%
    Melt Temperature: 210 - 280 C (410 - 536 F); Aim: 245 C (473 F)
    25 - 70 C (77 - 158 F). (Mold temperatures control the gloss properties;
    Mold Temperature:
    lower mold temperatures produce lower gloss levels)
    Injection Pressure: 500 - 1,000 bar (7,250 - 14,500 psi)
    Injection Speed: Moderate - high

    Chemical and Physical Properties


    ABS is produced by a combination of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.
    Each of the monomers impart different properties: hardness, chemical and heat resistance from
    acrylonitrile; processibility, gloss, and strength from styrene; and toughness and impact
    resistance from butadiene. Morphologically, ABS is an amorphous resin.

    The polymerization of the three monomers produces a terpolymer, which has two phases: a
    continuous phase of styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) and a dispersed phase of polybutadiene rubber.
    The properties of ABS are affected by the ratios of the monomers and molecular structure of the
    two phases. This allows a good deal of flexibility in product design and consequently, there are
    hundreds of grades available in the market. Commercially available grades offer different
    characteristics such as medium to high impact, low to high surface gloss, and high heat
    distortion.
    ABS offers superior processibility, appearance, low creep and excellent dimensional stability,
    and high impact strength.
