Product Description
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is an impact-resistant engineering thermoplastic. It can be easily injection-molded, blow-molded, or extruded in a variety of shapes and sizes. ABS can withstand higher temperatures without deforming or melting. It has a higher melting point as compared to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is also resistant to chemical and ultraviolet (UV) light degradation.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene provides enhanced dimensional stability and has a low melting point. It assists in offering high rigidity and resistance to impact, abrasion, and strain. Apart from this, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is widely used to manufacture numerous medical devices, such as syringes, inhalers, laboratory equipment, and drug delivery devices. Its biocompatibility, sterilizability, and ease of processing, makes it a preferred choice for medical applications.
