Chi Mei PA-717C ABS Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: As per ISO 1183, the material’s density is 1.04 g/cc (0.0376 lb/in³), defining its mass per unit volume for basic characterization.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: Ranging 0.0030–0.0070 cm/cm (0.0030–0.0070 in/in) per ASTM D955, indicating variability in dimensional contraction during molding.
• Melt Flow (ASTM D1238): At 200°C with a 5.00 kg load, the rate is 1.8 g/10 min, reflecting processability under standard thermal-mechanical conditions.
• Melt Flow (ISO 1133): At 220°C with a 10.0 kg load, the rate is 12 g/10 min, showing higher flow capacity under increased temperature and load.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
2. Modification Features:
   • Good impact strength balance, resisting cracks from normal bumps and drops.
   • Excellent molding fluidity, forming complex shapes with ease.
   • Nice surface smoothness, ideal for products needing good looks.
   • Decent chemical tolerance, enduring common household substances.

Applications:

1. Automotive: For interior trim parts like door panels, dashboard bezels, and glove box components, providing both durability and an attractive appearance.
2. Electronics: To produce computer monitor frames, keyboard housings, and TV bezels, combining functionality with a sleek look.
