Product Description
Jamplast ABS resins are thermoplastic materials which provide an excellent balance of processability, impact resistance and heat resistance as imparted by the various polymer compositions. Jamplast 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.

The sheet and thermoforming grades of Jamplast ABS resins provide excellent high and low gloss aesthetics, thermal color stability, heat and impact resistance and stiffness for applications such as luggage, tool cases, burial vault liners, signs and recreation vehicles. Jamplast ABS resins can fill a variety of needs by offering ranges in melt flow rates from 1.0 to 4.0 g/10 min., sheet Izod impacts from 2.5 to 10.5 ft-lb/in and sheet flexural modulus from 285,000 to 300,000 psi.

This resin is the lowest gloss and highest melt flow rate option of our ABS sheet grades. With a melt flow rate of 4.0 g/10 min., JPLGABS can be used for low gloss, low impact applications where easy processability is desired.
