Product Description
One of the first commercial polymer alloy products, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene compounds can be tailored to meet the requirements of a very wide range of end-use application demands. Of the family of ABS molding grades, ABS 400 is a general purpose formulation combining excellent toughness with high strength and rigidity.
ABS resins in general offer an unusually broad latitude in processing conditions; ABS 400 molds easily to give parts of exceptional surface appearance.
