Commentary

・ABS:Ternary copolymers of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.
・AS: acrilonitrile and stylene without butadiene
・AAS: polymerized with acrylic rubber instead of butadiene
・ACS:polymerized withchlorinatedPEinstead of butadiene
・AES:polymerized withEPDMinstead of butadiene

Key points

  • Molding materials with excellent balance of heat resistance, mechanical properties, impact resistance, moldability, paintability, etc.
  • And it is used in many applications.
使われ方

Front grill

Reason for adoption

Metallic appearance (platability), hard to deform, rigid, and hard to crack (balance of physical properties)

Toner cartridge

Reason for adoption

Few deformation over time due to use (balance of physical properties), Good at injection molding and secondary processing (assembly, welding, etc.)

Helmets for construction sites

Reason for adoption

Crack-resistant and lightweight (impact resistance, low specific gravity)
