ABS is typically used for Luggage, Caravan Parts, Vehicular Parts, Sanitary Parts, Electrical Enclosures. Ideal for thermo forming. ABS's light weight and can be injection molded and extruded, ABS filament is used for 3d printing. It is suitable for various post-processing options (sanding, painting, gluing, filling)

Properties:
Properties:
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a common thermoplastic polymer.Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C. ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point.

Applications
Applications
ABS is a good material to use for vacuum forming. It cannot be laser cut. Gluing ABS together: EMA/Plastic weld, this solvent sticks all normal model making plastics together, Perspex, ABS, butyrate, styrene, Acrylic.
Fast acting (grabs in seconds), and has a water-like consistency so it is best used by holding or clamping the surfaces together and running a loaded brush/applicator/syringe along the length of the joint (solvent will be drawn into the joint)
Sustainability
Sustainability
ABS plastics is not bio-degradable however is Recyclable if disposed of appropriately.
Material handling:
Material handling:
Plastic weld cement should be used in a well ventilated area and contact with skin or eyes should be avoided.
Score carefully with a sharp cutting blade.
Protective Equipment:
Protective Equipment:
Wear Heat resistance gloves when thermo forming
Googles when trimming
