Applications/Uses of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Polymers

• ABS plastic ground down to an average diameter of less than 1 micrometer is used as the colorant in some tattoo inks. Tattoo inks that use ABS are extremely vivid.
• ABS's light weight and ability to be injection molded and extruded make it useful in manufacturing products such as drain-waste-vent (DWV) pipe systems, musical instruments (recorders, plastic clarinets, and piano movements) and golf club heads (due to its good shock absorbance).
• Automotive trim components, automotive bumper bars and medical devices for blood access are all manufactured products of ABS.
• It is also used to produce enclosures for electrical and electronic assemblies.
• Protective headgear, whitewater canoes, buffer edging for furniture and joinery panels, luggage and protective carrying cases, small kitchen appliances and toys, including Lego bricks are produced using ABS polymers.
• Household and consumer goods are the major consumers of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
• "Green ABS" is an innovation of ABS resin as the result of discovery and research to replace synthesis rubber (butadiene) with natural rubber in ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) manufacturing process. Green ABS resin is suitable for environment concern and the community, country. As the result, of natural rubber replacement can reduce the use of synthesis rubber (butadiene).
• Methyl Methacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene (MBS) copolymers are designed from core-shell technology, offering good compatibility with other polymers, acts as impact modifier for rigid and semi-rigid both transparent and opaque goods. It is applicable for PVC in construction, PVC profile, pipe, fitting, sheet, bottle and variety of plastic modification application such as PC/ABS, PBT and etc.
