The aggregation of stryrene monomer,acrylonitrile monomer and butadiene rubber can produce a polymer (ABS) constituted by acrylonitrile ( A ), butadiene rubber ( B ) and styrene ( S ) in various proportions. The characteristic thereof, due to the ingenious combination by the three components, shows such features as high impact resistance, large tensile strength and high rigidity, which will not alter even under low temperature. Above all, the polymer possesses strong heat resistance as well as chemical and oil resistance, which endows it with such outstanding qualities devoid of in PS and HIPS, AS resin is a butadiene-free in ABS resin. It retains the transparency of stryrene resin and is greatly improved in such properties as heat resistance, chemical resistance, oil resistance as well as mechanical intensity etc.
ABS resin boasts such qualities as high impact strength and mechanical intensity, sound chemical resistance and heat resistance, stable dimension and easy processing etc and is a relatively cheaper industrial material. It is mainly applied to the manufacturing of shells for radios and televisions, air conditioning and warming machines, juice machines, hair driers and shavers, basal body of electric fans, vehicle meters, front protective grillages as well as air conditioning machines in the carriage etc.
AS resin can be used in such fields which require high mechanical intensity, chemical resistance and transparency such as battery compartments, meter boxes, blades of electric fans and beef oil case etc.
