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.

1. Why choose flame-retardant grade ABS virgin granules?

In industries such as home appliances, office equipment, automotive electronics and electrical installations, flame retardancy is an important indicator for the selection of plastic materials.
The use of flame-retardant grade ABS virgin granules (such as LG Chem AF312A) can achieve:

  ・Complies with UL94 V-0, 5VB and 5VA fire protection standards

  ・It performs stably in high-temperature environments

  ・Good electrical insulation and impact toughness

  ・Suitable for the production of high-precision injection molded parts
