Polymer and Chemical Alloys with ABS Polymers 710102
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymers are capable of modification either by other polymers or by chemical additives to form alloys. ABS polymers have been successfully alloyed with polycarbonates, polyurethanes, polyvinyl chlorides, glass fiber, and inert fillers, such as calcium carbonate, nylons, chlorinated polyethylene, and chemical fire retardants. In each case the resultant products have an area of value not attainable with the basic ABS polymer.
