Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ABS different from regular PS?
ABS contains butadiene rubber which provides impact resistance, while PS is brittle. ABS is tougher, more durable, and has better surface gloss. The "B" (butadiene) component absorbs impact energy that would crack regular polystyrene.
Which ABS grade is best for high-gloss applications?
Chi Mei 757K and LG Yongxing 121H are industry standards for high-gloss injection molding. Chi Mei 757K is particularly known for its balance of gloss, impact strength, and processability.
