ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Testing
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a terpolymer made by polymerizing acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of polybutadiene. The proportions can vary from 15% to 35% acrylonitrile, 5% to 30% butadiene and 40% to 60% styrene. Acrylonitrile is a synthetic monomer produced from propylene and ammonia. It provides chemical resistance and heat stability of ABS. Butadiene is produced as a by-product of ethylene production from steam crackers. It offers toughness and impact strength to ABS. Styrene is obtained by dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene. It delivers rigidity and processability to ABS plastic.
