(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS plastics provide a balanced combination of mechanical toughness, wide temperature range, good dimensional stability, chemical resistance, electrical insulating properties, and ease of fabrication.
ABS plastic is available in a wide range of grades including medium and high-impact, heat-resistant, plateable fire-retardant, and both low and high gloss varieties.
| Max Temp. | Chemical Resistance | Tensile Strength | Flexural Modulus | Impact Strength |
| 140°-200° F (60° – 93° C) | Poor to Fair | 5,000-7,500 psi | 270,000-380,000 psi | 3.0-7.5 ft-lb/in |

Pros
Good impact resistance with toughness and rigidity
Metal coatings have excellent adhesion to ABS
Excellent processability and appearance
Cons
Poor solvent resistance
Poor weatherability (UV additive can improve)
Low dielectric strength (not a good insulator)
Low continuous service temperature (melts easily)
