ABS – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

ABS: Terluran, Elix, Novodur, Sinkral, Polylac, Cycolac

Typical applications

Household appliances and housings

Due to its aesthetic appearance, high gloss and scratch resistance, ABS is the standard choice for:

• Kitchen appliances: housings of coffee machines, blenders, toasters and microwave ovens.
• White goods: control panels and handles of washing machines and dishwashers.
• Vacuum cleaners: outdoor enclosures that must withstand frequent impacts against furniture.

Automotive industry

In the automotive industry, its dimensional stability, toughness and the possibility of subsequent processing (e.g. galvanization or painting) are valued.

• Internal components: door trims, dashboard parts, ventilation grilles and decorative moldings.
• External components: rearview mirror housings, radiator grilles (grilles) and light housings.

Electronics and office equipment

The material provides good protection of internal electrical components and a long product life:

• Device housings: computer cases, monitors, printers and photocopiers.
• Consumer electronics: remote controls, keyboards, routers and chargers.

Leisure products and toys

Excellent coloration and mechanical resistance enable use in demanding consumer products:

• Toys: high-quality bricks (similar to Lego), plastic figurines and models.
• Sports equipment: parts of protective helmets, drone housings and fitness equipment components.

Packaging and consumer goods

• Cosmetic packaging: perfume caps, lipsticks and makeup cases.
• Office supplies: cases for felt-tip pens, ballpoint pens and desk organizers.
