Enclosure
ABS is commonly used to produce enclosures because of its strength and durability, as well as its resistance to impact, heat, and chemicals. Its low cost also makes it a popular choice for producing consumer products.
Kettle cover
ABS is a strong, durable material that is resistant to impact, heat, and chemicals. These properties make it a popular choice for producing consumer products, including kitchen appliances. Kettle covers made from ABS can withstand the heat and steam generated during use, and they won't corrode when exposed to high levels of moisture.
Shower bowl
ABS is an ideal material for wet environments, such as bathrooms, because it does not corrode when exposed to high levels of moisture. It can also withstand hot water temperatures and chlorine bleach, which are commonly used in bathrooms.
Toaster
ABS is commonly used to produce toaster casings because it is a good insulator and does not conduct heat as well as metal. As a result, the toaster will remain cooler on the outside and will not become too hot to touch.
Reasons to choose ABS for your application:
- Strong, durable, and lightweight
- Resistant to impact, heat, and chemicals
- Versatile and easily modified for different applications
- Easy to process and bond
- Low cost
- Non-toxic and safe to use
- Used in a wide range of industries
