ABS Materials
ABS Sheets & Rods – High-Impact Engineering Plastic for Industrial Applications
At Petron Thermoplast, we supply ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) sheets, rods, and precision-machined parts. ABS is valued for its high impact strength, durability, and ease of machining, making it a go-to material for automotive, electronics, construction, and general engineering applications.
Available in sheets, rods, and custom components, our ABS products deliver lightweight yet strong solutions for demanding industrial and commercial projects.
More About
ABS is a tough, rigid, and impact-resistant thermoplastic known for its excellent balance of mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and surface quality.
Its properties come from its three key monomers:
- Acrylonitrile – chemical resistance & thermal stability
- Butadiene – toughness & impact resistance
- Styrene – rigidity & glossy surface finish
This blend creates a material that is strong, easy to fabricate, and cost-effective, making ABS ideal for structural and industrial components
