MAGNUM™ 1040

MAGNUM ABS resins are thermoplastic materials which provide an excellent balance of processability, impact resistance and heat resistance as imparted by the various polymer compositions. MAGNUM ABS resins are available in a wide range of melt flow rates, impact strength and heat resistance for both high and low gloss applications manufactured by injection molding, sheet or profile extrusion and thermoforming processes.

Automotive grades of MAGNUM ABS resins offer a wide range of gloss, viscosity, impact strength and heat properties for use in numerous automotive applications. Melt flow rates from 1 to 12 g/10 min, impact strengths from 2.5 to 12 ft-lb/in and heat distortion temperatures from 165°F to 190°F are available. Available primarily as natural plus concentrates, MAGNUM ABS resins are used in a wide variety of automotive applications including structural instrument panels, consoles, pillars, and exterior trim parts requiring painting and plating.

MAGNUM 1040 ABS resin is often suitable for applications requiring Izod impact strengths of 12 ft-lb/in. This low gloss, very high impact ABS resin is one of the more viscous resins in this product family, having a melt flow rate of approximately 2.2 g/10 min. and is often used in door sills and glove boxes.
