ABS Rods and Sheets

Description

ABS rod is a plastic rod made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, a copolymer material with many useful properties: 

• Impact resistance: ABS rods are known for their exceptional impact resistance, even at low temperatures
• Dimensional stability: ABS rods are dimensionally stable
• Rigidity: ABS rods are highly rigid
• Machinability: ABS rods are easy to machine and bond
• Chemical resistance: ABS rods are resistant to chemicals, certain oils, alkalis, mineral acids, and inorganic salt solutions
• Cost: ABS rods are relatively low cost

ABS rods are used in a variety of applications, including:

• Engineering: ABS rods are used in engineering applications due to their tensile strength
• Thermoforming: ABS rods are used in thermoforming applications
• Modeling and prototyping: ABS rods are used in modeling and prototyping
• Storage cases: ABS rods are used in storage cases
• Display bases: ABS rods are used in display bases
• LEGO bricks: ABS is the primary material used to make LEGO bricks

ABS rods are available in standard diameters and lengths, and can be fabricated using a variety of methods, including drilling, cutting, routing, and more.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) rods have many properties, including:

• Stability: ABS rods are stable at high temperatures, resisting deformation and maintaining their mechanical properties.
• Flame retardant: ABS rods have good flame-retardant properties, which can help protect against fire.
• Impact resistance: ABS rods are resistant to physical impacts.
• Chemical corrosion resistance: ABS rods are resistant to chemical corrosion.
• Low melting point: ABS rods have a low melting point, which makes them easy to use in 3D printing and injection molding.
• Toughness: ABS rods are tough.
• Rigidity: ABS rods are rigid.

ABS rods can be modified to improve their impact resistance, heat resistance, and toughness. ABS flame retardant compounds can be used to increase the fire resistance of ABS plastic devices
