Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a thermoplastic polymer known for its strength, structural stability and excellent thermal, corrosion and abrasion resistance. The toughness of this plastic delivers an impact resistance that is superior to many other manufacturing plastics. Although ABS is an opaque material, the styrene component gives it a shiny appearance.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene applications in automotive and transportation include:

Instrument panels

Pillar trim

Dashboard components

Door liners and handles

Seat backs, seat belt components, etc.

Electrical & Electronics Applications-ABS provides good all-round performance for electronic enclosures, computer keyboards etc.

Appliances-Used of ABS in appliances include appliance control panels, housings (shavers, vacuum cleaners, food processors), refrigerator liners, etc. Household and consumer goods are the major applications of ABS. Keyboard keycaps are commonly made out of ABS.

Pipes, Hoses & Fittings-Pipes and fittings made from ABS are widely used as they are easier to install and do not rot, rust or corrode. Under proper handling, they withstand earth loads and shipping & can also resist mechanical damage, even at low temperatures.

ABS is further used to make legos, instruments, sports equipment, gardening tools, medical applications include manufacturing nebulizers, compressors and more.
