Kareline ABMS6040 Kareline Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (Wood Fiber, 50%)

Product Description

The matrix plastic of Kareline® ABMS is Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). The fibre used is ECF bleached long fibre Nordic soft wood pulp (cellulose). The fibre content of Kareline ® ABMS composites is normally 10 - 30 weight% (for example Kareline® ABMS7030). Customer tailor-made grades, e.g. with higher fibre content, are available.

Injection mouldable Kareline® ABMS composites can be used in various products because of its good balance of properties, toughness/strength/temperature resistance coupled with its ease of moulding and good surface finish.

Kareline® ABMS composites are excellent raw materials for technical applications e.g. in car, telecom or electronics industries, covers, handles, but also for household appliances, decorative parts, furniture and interior design. If needed, it is possible to have Kareline® ABMS products with very beautiful and living surface structure and colours.

Kareline® ABMS composites have a lot of good properties:

High rigidity

Good impact strength as natural fibre composite

Excellent abrasion resistance

Good chemical and stress cracking resistance

Easy to machine

Pleasant feel of surface and good surface quality; if needed very beautiful living/ natural surface is possible

Good acoustic properties

Problem-free surface treatment
