| Min continuous Service temperature
| 60 - 80°C
| Sterilization resistance(Repeated)
| Poor | | Thermal insulation(Thermal conductivity) | 0.13 - 0.19 W / m.k |
ABS have a broad processing window and can be processed on most standard machinery.
Strengths
- High rigidity
- Good impact resistance, even at low temperatures
- Easily processed(may be electroplated)
- Good insulating properties
- Good weidability
- Good abrasion and stain resistance
- High dimensional stability (low water absorption)
- Good paintability and platability.
Limitations
- Poor weathering resistance Ordinary grades burn once the flame is removed
- Scratches easily
- Poor solvent resistance particularly aromatic, ketones and esters
- Can suffer from stress cracking in the presence of some greases.
Applications
- Automative / Transportation
