Product Description
Absylux ABS is a low cost engineering plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. Absylux is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness are required. It is widely used for machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to paint and glue. Natural (beige) and black Absylux are FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.
Manufacturing Capabilities:
  • Rod: 0.25 to 8 in diameter
  • Sheet: 0.0625 to 6 in thick
  • Film: 0.001 to 0.029 in thick
