What are Black ABS Sheets for?
Black general-purpose recycled ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a high-strength impact-resistant thermoplastic.
ABS thermoforms easily due to its exceptional hot strength, and it can be formed on wood, epoxy, ceramic and aluminum molds. Its forming temperature is 300 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. For best results, the mold temperature should be 150 to 190 degrees. ABS is haircell textured on one side and has a smooth unfinished surface on the other.
Whether sawed, glued, drilled or bent by heat, we are confident that ABS plastic can help you achieve your desired results. ABS materials hide wear and tear, making them an excellent choice for construction professionals and hobbyists who fully embrace the DIY concept of hands-on participation. As an affordable, long-lasting and versatile material, ABS is already found in many items around your home and office. ABS is recyclable as well, making it an eco-friendly choice.
Some of the many things you can make with black ABS include automotive parts, fittings, 3D building components, electronic enclosures, garden tools, machine prototypes, boat instrument panels and point-of-sale displays. It has good rigidness, impact resistance, dimensional stability and weather resistance, making plastic ABS appropriate for indoor and outdoor use.
