Uses

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is the largest-volume engineering resin. Its biggest use is in the automotive industry, followed by the electronics sector. Other applications include domestic appliances, pipes, fittings and other construction products, and recreational items such as boats and mobile homes.

It is mostly supplied in white grey and natural granules. By mixing a certain percentage of masterbatches suitable for natural (colourless) ABS, it is possible to make any colour out of this resin.
