ABS
ABS is a raw plastic material with high impact strength, outstanding impact resistance, machinability. ABS also has impressive thermal qualities and thermoforming characteristics. This makes ABS a very popular material amongst thermoformers. It is an excellent choice for machine housings, retail store fixtures, and point-of-purchase displays when impact resistance or durability is required.
Different top layers are available such as:
- PMMA (matt or glossy);
- Matt ABS;
- ASA (Matt or semi gloss);
- Soft touch;
ABS plastic is available:
- with a semi gloss surface layer that thermoforms quickly
- with matt surface layer that remains matt also after thermoforming
- with a surface layer of high gloss PMMA (acrylic)
- with a matt or semi gloss surface layer of ASA material
- with a matt coloured PMMA surface layer
- with a matt soft touch layer
Performance Characteristics:
- Outstanding impact resistance
- Easy to thermoform
- Easy to machine
