Absylux ABS

Absylux ABS is a low cost engineering plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. Absylux is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness are required. It is widely used for machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to paint and glue. Natural (beige) and black Absylux are FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.

The following physical property information is based on typical values of the base acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin.


Applications Include:

  • Machined prototypes
  • Structural components
  • Support blocks
  • Housings Covers

Advantages of Absylux:

  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Good machinability
  • Excellent aesthetic qualities
  • Easy to paint and glue
  • Good strength and stiffness
  • Low cost

Manufacturing Capabilities:

  • Rod: 1/4" to 8" diameter
  • Sheet/Slab: 1/16" to 6" thick
  • Film: .001" to .029" thick

Compression Molded Sheet Sizes Available:

  • 2' x 4' (1/16" - 6" Thick)
  • 4' x 8' (1/16" - 4" Thick)
  • 4' x 10' (1/4" - 4" Thick)
  • Film, 26" wide rolls

Colors/Grades:

  • Absylux - FDA compliant grade (natural and black)
  • Absylux II - Machine grade, non-FDA (natural and black)
  • FR Absylux - Flame retardant grade (natural and black)
  • Custom colors are available
