ABS

ABS is a terpolymer synthesized by the polymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene monomers alongside polybutadiene. Butadiene makes the product harder and more resistant even at low temperatures, while styrene monomer gives ABS good processability; Acrylonitrile provides hardness, heat and chemical resistance. Our KUMHO brand ABS product, of which we are the distributor in Turkey, is regularly available in our stocks as Natural, White, Black, Coating and Impact Resistant (Extrusion). Our product has FDA (Food Compliance), RoHS, EC, REACH and UL certificates.

What is ABS?

ABS is a terpolymer synthesized by the polymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene monomers alongside polybutadiene.

History

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene has been used since the 1940s. Its increased toughness to styrene has made it suitable for most applications, but its attendant limitations have led to the use of rubber (butadiene) as a third monomer. Thus, the material combination commonly known as ABS plastics emerged. This material gained a foothold on the market in 1950, and ABS has become the most widely used engineering polymer, thanks to the diversity and easy processability of these copolymers.

Features

ABS is the most popular plastic material and an indispensable part of our daily lives due to some of its superior qualities:

– Flexible design
– Excellent surface quality
– Bright and deep colors
– Interesting feel and touch
– Dimensional stability
– Chemical resistance
– Impact resistance

Today, ABS, a versatile material, has become a part of modern life in almost all markets.
