What are ABS Virgin Granules?

ABS virgin granules refers to acrylonitrile butadiene-styrene copolymer pellets that have not been recycled.

Compared with recycled ABS, virgin particles have a more stable molecular structure and purity, and can provide better mechanical strength, color consistency and dimensional accuracy. This makes it an ideal choice for high-standard injection molded products such as TV casings, electrical components, and automotive interior parts.
