ABS sheet (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer sheet) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic sheet made from ABS resin, a copolymerization reaction of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). It is formed by extrusion or injection molding. ABS combines the chemical resistance and rigidity of acrylonitrile, the toughness and impact resistance of butadiene, and the processing fluidity and high-gloss surface of styrene, resulting in a material with excellent overall performance. ABS sheet features a smooth surface (roughness Ra <0.1μm), high gloss (60-85GU, near-mirror finish), and uniform color (commonly available in beige, black, porcelain white, or custom colors). Thicknesses typically range from 1mm to 260mm, widths from 1000mm to 2000mm, and custom lengths are available.

Specific Applications and Components
Electronics and Electrical Appliances
TV and Monitor Housings: Plastic housings for LCD TVs and computer monitors. ABS sheet's high impact resistance and high-gloss surface meet the aesthetic requirements of consumer electronics.
Refrigerator and Air Conditioner Panels: Door panels and control panels for refrigeration equipment. Its easy thermoformability and low-temperature resistance ensure a tight seal and smooth operation.
Laptop and Mobile Phone Housings: Plastic housings for portable electronic devices. ABS sheet's high rigidity and dimensional stability ensure the stability of internal components.
Advertising and Displays
Advertising Light Box Panels: Translucent or opaque panels for outdoor advertising light boxes. ABS sheet's high gloss surface and UV resistance ensure clear and vibrant advertising images.
Shopping Mall Displays and Signage: Used in product displays and wayfinding. Its easy processability and smooth surface enhance design flexibility.
Exhibition Booths: Plastic booths for temporary exhibitions. ABS sheet's lightweight and easy assembly reduce construction costs.
Building Decoration
Interior Decorative Wall Panels: Plastic wall panels used in homes and offices. ABS sheet's chemical resistance and easy cleanability ensure long-term, stain-free use.
Door and Window Frames: Plastic edging used for building doors and windows. Its weather resistance and impact resistance enhance the seal.
Bathroom Furniture Components: Used in washbasins and shower enclosure brackets. ABS sheet's chemical resistance and high-temperature resistance ensure long-term, deformation-free use.
Industrial Equipment
Distribution Cabinet and Control Box Panels: Plastic panels used in electrical equipment. ABS sheet's flame retardancy and insulation properties slow the spread of fire (compliant with IEC 60950 standards) and protect internal circuitry.
Industrial Instrument Housings: Plastic housings used in testing instruments. Its high rigidity and impact resistance ensure long-term, stable operation.
Power Tool Handles: Used in handles for tools like electric drills and angle grinders. ABS sheet's non-slip surface (through textured design) and chemical resistance (resistance to oil corrosion) enhance the user's grip.
