ABS
Material Description

ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) is derived from combining SAN (a Styrene/Acryloitrile linear copolymer) and BS rubber (a Butadiene/Styrene linear copolymer), to create a tough, rigid material. One of the few non-metallic materials that can be electroplated, ABS also has excellent resistance to alkalies, some oils, inorganic salt solutions and mineral acids. ABS can be machined even to close tolerances and may be easily thermoformed.
