Ineos ABSOLAC 150/160 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 ≥20 g/10 min.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Modification Features:
  
  • High rigidity for structural components requiring long-term dimensional stability.
  • Low creep under load ensures reliable performance in static or sustained-load applications.
  • Suitable for parts needing high stiffness, such as mechanical supports or load-bearing components.
