Machine grade ABS is an engineering plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. Machine grade ABS is a cost effective material for structural applications where durability, stiffness and impact strength at low temperatures are required. Compared to extruded ABS, machine grade ABS is compression molded and air annealed during a structured heating and cooling process. This minimizes expansion and contraction and helps to prevent internal part failure. Natural and black machine grade ABS is FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.

Applications and Uses:

Machine grade ABS is used for machining pre-production prototypes due to its excellent dimensional stability and ability to accept paint and solvent bonds.
