Ineos ABSOLAC 120HR ABS Resin

Physical Properties

• Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133 standards, at a temperature of 220°C (428°F) under a load of 10.0 kg (22.0 lb), the melt flow rate is ≥16 g/10 min.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Modification Features:
  
  • High impact resistance for components exposed to harsh conditions or mechanical stress.
  • Good flow allows molding of intricate shapes with impact requirements, such as under-the-hood parts.
  • Heat resistance (implied by “HR”) for applications near engine compartments or high-temperature zones.

Applications:

1. Automotive Industry: The high-heat resistance of ABSOLAC 120HR is crucial for automotive components that must endure the challenging environment under the hood or inside a vehicle on a hot day.
   • Automotive Interior & Exterior Parts:
     • It’s used for instrument panels, dashboard consoles, and interior trim parts that are subjected to solar heat.
     • The material’s dimensional stability prevents warping, while its high impact strength provides durability.
   • Radiator Grilles and Lamp Housings: The ability to withstand heat from the engine and sunlight makes it suitable for exterior parts like grilles and the housings for car lamps.
   • Battery Containers: Its combination of heat resistance, chemical resistance, and impact strength makes it a reliable material for certain battery containers and casings.
2. Home and Office Appliances: The material’s properties make it an excellent choice for a wide range of consumer products that need to be both functional and attractive.
   • Electronic Housings:
     • It is commonly used for the casings of printers, photocopiers, and digital displays.
     • The good flowability allows for molding complex designs, while the rigidity provides protection for internal components.
   • High-Power Mixers: The “HR” grade can withstand the heat generated by the motor in appliances like powerful blenders or mixers.
   • Vacuum Cleaner Housings: The material’s high impact resistance is essential for vacuum cleaner bodies, which are prone to bumps and knocks during use.
