ABS boards
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is an amorphous plastic with a density of 1.05 g/m3 used in the manufacture of boards which are highly impact-resistant in positive and negative temperatures. It exhibits high hardness, flexibility, low weight and resistance to scratching. ABS is one of a few plastics which can be coated with metals by galvanizing.
Types of ABS boards:
- ABS/PMMA – ABS co-extruded with acrylate (PMMA)
- ABS/TPU – ABS co-extruded with thermoplastic polyurethane
- ABS/ASA – ABS co-extruded with the ASA copolymer
Processing
- Heat forming
- Hot bending
- Cementing
- Die cutting
- Guillotine cutting, laser cutting, cutting with wood and metal cutters
- Drilling
- Milling
- The boards can be offset and screen printed
Advantages
- Low weight
- Good insulation properties
- Excellent rigidity
- High impact strength
- Ease of heat forming
- Ease of machining
- Good chemical resistance
