ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) film is an amorphous thermoplastic material that is commonly used for applications that require mechanical toughness, impact resistance, and ease of fabrication and thermoforming. PolymerFilms offers a full line of ABS film products from world-leading producers like Primex Plastics Corporation and Westlake Plastics (ABSYLUX®). It is a naturally glossy material but is available in matte grades as well. General-purpose ABS has good impact strength and thermoforms well. Weather-resistant grades are also available, providing long-term color and gloss stability during outdoor exposure, outstanding UV protection, and chemical resistance. ABS plastic film is also recyclable, allowing the reduction of the expense of disposal.

ABS film is among the industry’s most versatile materials, most commonly used for mechanical purposes; it is often seen in the Transportation and Medical Device / Diagnostic Strips, and Industrial Film industries. Other common uses involve permanent displays, thermoforming, signs, machine guards, automotive parts and trims, exterior and interior applications, pickup truck caps, boat accessories, computer housings, and more. ABS film is the right choice for a material that balances cost and performance within a reasonable temperature range.
