ABS Sheet

from $3.00

ABS is a versatile and cost effective thermoplastic created using three unique compounds. ABS is rigid, tough and impact resistant enabling effective use in a number of indoor and outdoor applications. Often recognized by its glossy surface or haircell texture, ABS possesses combination of properties making it an ideal choice in numerous industries.

ABS is exceptionally durable, has low moisture absorption, good dimensional stability, excellent chemical resistance, is very easy to fabricate, and thinner gauges can be die-cut. ABS also has a high heat tolerance which allows it to be thermoformed to shape, or sonic welded to various materials such as wood, epoxy, ceramic, and aluminum. ABS parts can also be fastened using screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, or spring steel fasteners.
