ABS
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene
ABS is a tough thermoplastic that combines good surface finish with high mechanical strength. The material is easy to process and can be painted, glued, and metalized. ABS is widely used in industry, from prototypes and casings to vehicle interiors and medical products. Thanks to its good balance between price and performance, ABS is one of the most popular choices for design details that require toughness without compromising surface quality. We have ABS in plates, round bars, and tubes in stock.
