Because of the range of ABS polymers that may be produced ,a wide range of properties is exhibited by these materials. Properties of particular importance are toughness and impact resistance , dimensional stability ,good heat distortion resistance and good low-temperature properties. ABS is a grafted terpolymer that consists of acrylonitrile – butadiene- styrene dispersed in glassy matrix of styrene– acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer. ABS has been known as a thermoplastic, but it also satisfies functioning as an alloy or modifier of other thermoplastics. There are to 41 different grades available for production as per license.
