Extruded ABS Plastic Sheets Thickness 1-260mm
Product Advantages
Balanced Toughness and Rigidity
ABS sheet's high toughness (impact resistance >15kJ/m²) and moderate rigidity (flexural strength 40-60MPa) make it an ideal choice for applications requiring both impact resistance and structural support. Examples include:
• Automotive interiors: instrument panel frames, door trim panels, and center console panels (injection-molded ABS) resist vibration and minor impacts during driving (no cracking) while maintaining a high surface gloss (enhancing interior aesthetics);
• Electronic equipment housings: computer cases, printer housings, and router panels (extruded or injection-molded ABS) offer drop resistance (no damage from tabletop drops) and fingerprint resistance (smooth and easy-to-clean surface);
• Industrial equipment protective covers: Transparent or translucent ABS sheets (3-5mm thick) for machine tool operating panels protect internal components from tool impact (ensure toughness) and facilitate easy viewing (high light transmittance optional).
Easy Processing and Low Cost
ABS sheet's excellent processing fluidity (MFR 5-20g/10min) and low raw material cost (only 40%-50% of PC and 30%-40% of POM) significantly improve production efficiency. For example:
• Mass Production of Plastic Housings: For complex curved parts used in home appliances (such as washing machine control panels and vacuum cleaner housings), ABS sheet can be formed in a single injection molding process (reducing assembly steps), resulting in a unit cost 60%-70% lower than metal (such as aluminum alloy die-casting);
• Customized Industrial Parts: ABS protective panels with grooves and projections (such as bumper strips on equipment edges) can be quickly produced through thermoforming, with low mold costs (50% cheaper than steel molds) and short production cycles;
• Waste Recycling: Processing waste (such as flash and turning chips) can be 100% shredded and re-extruded, achieving an overall material utilization rate exceeding 95%, reducing production costs.
Combining appearance and functionality
ABS sheet's high surface gloss (80%-90%) and easy colorability (custom colors available) make it an outstanding choice for applications requiring both functionality and aesthetics. For example:
• Architectural decoration materials: Indoor ceiling panels and wall panels (white or light-colored ABS) offer a smooth, easy-to-clean surface (resisting dust and stains) and moisture resistance (resisting bathroom moisture).
• Advertising display panels: Transparent or translucent ABS sheets (such as display case panels and signage) offer a high gloss (enhancing visual appeal) and weather resistance (no yellowing for indoor use).
Typical Applications of ABS Plastic Sheet
- Industry and Manufacturing: Equipment protective panels, operating console panels, machine housings, fences, and brackets
- Electronics and Electrical: Electrical panels, control boxes, power supply housings, and instrument covers
- Automotive: Interior trim, decorative strips, instrument panel covers, and air conditioning vents
- Construction and Decoration: Advertising display boards, signs, decorative panels, partitions, and suspended ceilings
- Office and Home: File racks, storage boxes, furniture accessories, and toy housings
- Advertising and Display: Display stands, POP displays, light box panels, and signage
- Education and Laboratory: Teaching models, experimental device housings, and protective covers
Summary: Why Choose ABS Sheet?
ABS Sheet is a general-purpose engineering plastic sheet material that offers balanced performance, easy processing, excellent appearance, and outstanding cost-effectiveness. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment and electronics to advertising displays, architectural decoration, and everyday home furnishings.
It may not be the most outstanding material in any single performance area (for example, it may not be as high-temperature resistant as PC, not as wear-resistant as PE, or not as rigid as POM). However, ABS Sheet strikes an almost optimal balance between overall mechanical properties, moldability, aesthetic appeal, and cost control, making it a truly versatile engineering plastic sheet.
