Plastic ABS sheet for thermoforming

タイトルまたは説明

Detailed Product Description

ABS sheet:
Material has Good Mechanical Properties
Very High Impact Strength
It is Bondable /Weldable to itself                                                           
                                                                                                                                  

ABS Sheetis high impact and has a  heat deflection of **0°F. It is easily bondable and paintable with common acrylic or latex paints or can be silk-screened.   Thin gauge material (.**0″ – .**0″) is available with a haircell texture on one side, and smooth on the other.

• Durable and impact resistant
• Easy to machine
• Dimensionally stable
• Bondable, welds well with solvents or heat
• FDA compliant for contact with food

The machine grade (.**5″ – 6.0″) is smooth on both sides and is either Black or Natural (straw-tan-ivory-beige). Material is easily cut with common cutting tools, can be machined similar to woods or soft metals (brass), CNC machining is appropriate. FDA approved for use in food processing applications. Material can be bonded with solvents or attached to itself with ultra-sonic or heat welding methods. Can be sanded, drilled, and worked like a hard wood.

 

ABS Rod and ABS Sheet are very strong and tough, and applicable to be used in most general purpose applications. Good dimensional stability and machining properties. Available is wide range of sizes in both sheet and rod, and custom formulations and sizes.

 

ABS Sheet Compare to Other Materials

Similar materials to ABS Sheet and ABS Rod would be: Acetal, Nylon and PVC. The Acetal and Nylon can not be bonded or glued, but the PVC bonds well (just think of that PVC pipe for your sprinklers). In the price comparison range, Acetal and Nylon will be more expensive, and the PVC will be similar, depending on actual size of part. PVC is a bit tougher to machine. Acetal machines the best. Nylon is really a tough material, and can be difficult to machine as well.

 

ABS Sheet applications – Frequently used in:

• Model / Prototype parts
• FDA Compliant Machined Parts
• Heat Formed and Vacuum Formed Parts
• Strip Heat / Bent Thin Gauge Covers and Housings
• Inserts, Spacers, and Mounting Plates
• Paintable Machined or Cut Parts
• Same Material As Used In Black Plastic Drain Pipe

ABS Sheet and ABS Sheets, ABS Rod and ABS Rodsare a common plastic ‘building block’, used in numerous applications. From model making to FDA compliant parts. In stock and ready to ship, cut to size or we can provide ‘blanks’ to ease your production.
