Some Processing Recommendations for ABS Plastic

Molding Process Plastic ABS can also be considered a modification of polystyrene, with higher impact resistance and better mechanical strength compared to HIPS. It has good processability and can be molded using plastic forming equipment such as injection molding machines, extruders, and the like for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, calendering, lamination, foaming, and thermoforming. Additionally, it can be welded, coa...

Basic Properties of ABS Plastic

1. General Performance ABS appears as opaque, ivory-colored granules that are non-toxic, odorless, and have a low water absorption rate. Its products can be colored in various hues and possess a high gloss of 90%. ABS has good compatibility with other materials, making it easy to print, coat, and plate on its surface. With an oxygen index of 18.2, ABS is a flammable polymer; it burns with a yellow flame and black smoke, charring w...

What is the difference between ABS environmental plastic and regular ABS material?

As environmental pollution becomes increasingly severe, environmental protection is the primary topic for everything. This is also very important for ABS materials.

This material was design...

What are the classifications of flame retardants for plastics?

In the UL94 plastic flammability rating system, there are a total of 12 classifications: HB, V-0, V-1, V-2, 5VA, 5VB, VTM-0, VTM-1, VTM-2, HBF, HF-1, and HF-2. [caption id="attachment_248" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Plastic combustion test[/caption] The flammability UL94 rating is the most widely applied standard for the flammability of plastic materials. It is used to evaluate the ability of a material to extinguish afte...

Application of Plastics in Automotive Exteriors

Cars are an indispensable part of modern life, offering significant convenience for people's travel. The automotive industry has developed over time, with its supply chain becoming increasingly mature. Additionally, a series of related industries that have emerged from the automotive sector have also experienced substantial growth. In recent years, the field of car interiors and exteriors has been particularly vibrant, with the appli...

Introduction to PP Toughening Agents and POE

Polyolefin elastomers (POE) are thermoplastic elastomers synthesized through the in-situ polymerization of ethylene and α-olefins using metallocene catalysts. These polymers are characterized by their extremely low degree of crystallinity, low density, narrow molecular weight distribution, and low glass transition temperature. These properties grant them excellent compatibility with inorganic fillers and provide them with good resili...

Factor One: Melt Fracture When the molten material is injected into a relatively large mold cavity under high-speed and high-pressure conditions, it is highly prone to a phenomenon known as "melt fr...

The initiative for clean zero chemical industry has been officially launched, and the "Global Impact Alliance" has been established.

The initiative for clean zero chemical industry has been officially launched, and the "Global Impact Alliance" has been established. In order to achieve net-zero emissions in the global chemical industry by 2050, the Low Carbon Emission Technology (LCET) Initiative, incubated and hosted by the World Economic Forum for over three years, has now been officially launched as an independent global influential alliance. The New Allia...
