ABS

ABS is the noble material in plastic thermoforming, used for a large number of industrial applications. ABS can be welded, glued and decorated (paint, silk-screen printing, sublimation).

Due to the good appearance of its surface, its dimensional stability and suitability for decoration, ABS is often used for shielding applications in sectors such as household appliances, telephones, IT equipment and toys. A few example applications: the front surface of household appliances, rigid cases, pens, clock faces, toys, car parts, furniture…
