Which applications commonly use ABS?

Documented ABS grades are commonly evaluated for appliance and electronics housings, automotive trim, visible consumer parts and industrial products that need a balance of impact, rigidity and surface quality.

How should buyers qualify an ABS grade?

Use the current grade or approved sample, color and surface target, processing route, required documents and finished-part tests. Do not infer a missing property from another ABS grade.
