What is ABS material and is it safe?
1 Answers
ABS is a high-strength, tough, and easily processable thermoplastic polymer structural material, also known as ABS resin, and it is safe. Below are the specific details: 1. Applications: The largest application areas of ABS resin are in the automotive, electronics, and construction industries. In the automotive sector, it is used for components such as dashboards, exterior body panels, interior trim panels, steering wheels, soundproofing panels, door locks, bumpers, ventilation ducts, and many others. 2. Specific details: ABS refers to a graft copolymer of three monomers: acrylonitrile, 1,3-butadiene, and styrene. The molecular formula can be written as (C8H8·C4H6·C3H3N)x, but in reality, it is often a mixture of butadiene-containing graft copolymers and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, where acrylonitrile accounts for 15%~35%, butadiene for 5%~30%, and styrene for 40%~60%.
