TECARAN ABS
Ensinger TECARAN™ ABS is a terpolymer and an amorphous resin. It is manufactured by combining three different compounds. The three that make up TECARAN™ ABS are acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. TECARAN™ ABS occupies the unique position of being a bridge between the commodity and other higher performance engineering thermoplastics. Its performance is characterized by toughness and impact strength even at low temperatures, good stiffness and machinability.
- Cost Effective
- Good Toughness At Low Temperatures
- Easily Machinable
- Natural Is Made From Resin That Is FDA, USDA, 3A Dairy Compliant
- Available In Natural or Black
- Meets ASTM D4673-02 ABS220B44500
- Easily Bonded
The applications for TECARAN™ ABS range from Aerospace and automotive parts and housings, to parts for agricultural lawn and garden equipment and components for medical and business equipment, as well as many others.
