Lotte Chemical BF-0370 HOT Sale MABS Resin

Physical Properties

• Specific Gravity: The specific gravity of 1.05 g/cc, measured by ASTM D792, gives an idea of the material’s density compared to water.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow: As per ASTM D955, the 0.0030 – 0.0060 cm/cm linear mold shrinkage in the flow direction at 3.20 mm thickness matters for molding.
• Melt Flow: Determined by ASTM D1238, the 18 g/10 min melt flow at 10.0 kg load and 220 °C influences its processability.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Methyl – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (MABS)
• Key Features:
  
  • High Transparency: It offers excellent light transmittance, typically over 90% (ASTM D1003), providing a glass-like appearance. 
  • Excellent Impact Strength: The butadiene component provides significantly improved toughness compared to transparent plastics like PMMA or GPPS, making it highly resistant to shattering and cracking.
  • Good Chemical Resistance: It exhibits enhanced resistance to common chemicals, including fats, oils, and diluted acids, which is a major advantage for cosmetic and food packaging applications.
  • Good Processability: BF-0370 has a balanced melt flow rate, allowing for easy processing through standard injection molding and extrusion techniques.
