poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene)

polymer

ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) is a tough engineering thermoplastic that combines the rigidity of acrylonitrile and styrene with the impact resistance of butadiene rubber. It is widely used in automotive interiors and trim, consumer appliances, electrical housings, and 3D printing due to its excellent balance of stiffness, toughness, and processability. Engineers select ABS when applications require moderate temperature performance, good surface finish, and reliable impact resistance over a wide temperature range, particularly where repeated mechanical stress or minor impacts may occur.

Industry-Specific

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
