Frequently Asked Questions​

What is ABS plastic sheet used for?

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) sheet is used for impact-resistant and thermoformed applications. Common uses include machine housings, protective covers, automotive panels, appliance enclosures, luggage shells, and point-of-sale displays.

What are the key properties of ABS sheet?

ABS sheet offers good impact resistance, toughness, and rigidity with a smooth surface finish. It thermoforms easily and has better heat resistance than HIPS. ABS has moderate chemical resistance but is not suitable for prolonged UV exposure without protection.

Is ABS sheet suitable for thermoforming and vacuum forming?

Yes. ABS is widely used for thermoforming and vacuum forming. It heats evenly, forms cleanly, and retains detail well, making it suitable for complex shapes and medium- to high-volume production.

Can ABS sheet be machined or fabricated?

Yes. ABS sheet can be cut, drilled, routed, and machined using standard tools. It can also be bonded using suitable adhesives. Sharp tools and proper speeds help prevent melting or poor edge finish.

Is ABS sheet suitable for outdoor use?

Standard ABS is not UV-stabilised and will degrade with long-term sun exposure. For outdoor applications, UV-stabilised ABS or alternative materials such as ASA or polycarbonate should be considered.
