About ABS
ABS is an engineering thermoplastic resin composed of styrene, butadiene, and acrylonitrile monomers. Being composed mainly of styrene, and varying ratios of butadiene and acrylonitrile, ABS material can be readily modified in terms of rigidity, hardness and heat resistance, and toughness by varying the monomer proportions. The unique material properties of ABS include impact resistance, chemical resistance, fire resistance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. The exclusive properties of the material help it to find applications across sectors and industries including Appliance, Electrical and Electronics, Consumer Goods, Construction, and Automotive.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global ABS market to grow at a CAGR of 7.37 percent over the period 2013-2018.
