3 Reasons Why Manufactures Use ABS Granules

The Growing Popularity of ABS Granules

We live in a world where plastics have become an indispensable part of our lives. Today, you can find many products being made from plastics than from wood and glass. This is mainly because of the wide variety of chemical and physical properties that plastics offer and the benefits we gain from them. Unlike transparent polycarbonates, ABS granules, also known as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is an opaque thermoplastic. This is made through the emulsification process where three monomers are combined into a single product. When acrylonitrile reacts with the other two monomers it forms a durable finished product that can be used in many industries.

Better Durability

One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of ABS plastic granules is that they’re extremely durable. The butadiene monomer in the combination provides added strength and durability making ABS products tougher. Hence, many manufacturing industries use it in the manufacturing of products like keyboards, mouse, and even LEGO bricks. These products undergo plenty of abuse and therefore ABS plastic is the most preferred choice to improve the longevity of these products. 

Low Melting Point

Unlike other plastics that have a higher melting point, ABS natural or white granules -SABIC®ABS MG47F and STAREX™ SD0150 have a low melting point and therefore they are perfect for the injection moulding process. Many manufacturing companies today make use of the injection moulding process to design and shape products and therefore ABS granules are the most preferred choice. Also, the glossy surface finish of the ABS makes it easier for the manufacturers to apply glues and paint to improve the product's usability. Today, ABS plastic is used in printers, vacuum cleaners, musical instruments and many other products.

Versatility

The best part about ABS natural resin is that manufacturers have the option to use them at their convenience. ABS is very versatile in how manufacturers use and shape it to make different products. It can also be used for 3D printing and with better electrical resistance it can offer more benefits.
