ABS, ASA Capped ABS, Acrylic Capped ABS

ABS is known for its ease of processing due to good flow characteristics. Because of the butadiene in ABS, which creates a strong bonding structure, it is highly suitable for coating, painting, printing, and metal plating. This includes producing ABS parts with a chrome-plated finish. Adding special additives to ABS to achieve specific part properties might affect its thermoformability, such as TPU for delicate components or flame retardants for fire resistance in blister packaging. ABS thermoformed parts can be readily glued and welded thanks to their high heat resistance. When storing ABS raw materials, remember it’s hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture over time, which can deteriorate quality and processability.  Standard ABS has poor UV properties.

Acrylic Capped ABS sheet is highly specified thermoplastic sheet to meet the needs of the transport, construction and industrial markets. Formulated from quality polymers, our sheet offers outstanding qualities such as gloss, impact resistance and scratch resistance.  Acrylic capping also provides better UV properties than standard ABS

ASA/ABS

ASA shares similar properties to ABS, and in most cases equals or slightly exceeds the mechanical properties of standard ABS. However, ASA performs better in the areas of UV stability and heat resistance This makes ASA an ideal material for outdoor or commercial uses where it won’t be painted or covered.
For cost purposes we cap our ABS with ASA.
