ABS GP22 For industrial and manufacturing

Characteristics of ABS

1. Good comprehensive performance, high impact strength, chemical stability, good electrical properties.
2. Good welding with 372 organic glass, made into two-color plastic parts, and can be chrome-plated and painted on the surface.
3. There are high impact resistance, high heat resistance, flame retardant, reinforced, transparent and other levels.
4. The fluidity is slightly worse than HIPS, better than PMMA, PC, etc., and has good flexibility.

Applications of ABS

1. Automotive Industry

Interior and Exterior Components: ABS is used in the production of car dashboards, door panels, seat belt components, and bumpers due to its durability and impact resistance.

Trims and Molding: It is also used for decorative trim and moldings within vehicle interiors.

2. Consumer Electronics

Housings and Enclosures: ABS is widely used for the outer casings of computers, televisions, printers, remote controls, and other electronic devices due to its rigidity and ease of manufacturing.

Keyboards and Mouse: The strength and smooth finish of ABS make it ideal for computer peripherals.

3. Toys

LEGO Bricks: One of the most famous uses of ABS is in LEGO bricks, which benefit from the material's strength, safety, and excellent finish.

Other Toys: ABS is used in a variety of other toys that require durability and safety for children.

4. Household Appliances
