ABS is one of the engineering plastics consisting of the initials of the words Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene. This term is used to describe ABS polymer. ABS is produced by combining acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene monomers.

ABS is commonly used in industrial applications due to its properties such as high impact strength, high temperature resistance and chemical resistance. Automotive parts, household items, toys, medical devices and many other industrial products can be manufactured using ABS.

Because ABS is usually produced by forming processes, it provides flexibility to designers and manufacturers. This material can be produced in a variety of colours, finishes and textures. Also, since ABS is a recyclable material, it provides an environmentally friendly option.

ABS is preferred in many industrial sectors because it is a strong, durable and light material.
