LG Chem TR557 HOT Sale MABS Resin

Physical Properties

• Specific Gravity: The 1.09 g/cc specific gravity, measured by ASTM D792, shows the material’s mass – to – volume relationship compared to water.
• Melt Flow: Based on ASTM D1238, the 23 g/10 min melt flow at 10.0 kg load and 220 °C is significant for its processing performance.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Methyl – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (MABS)
• Key Features
  
  • High Transparency: With a light transmittance of over 90% (ASTM D1003), it is comparable to high-grade acrylic (PMMA), offering a glass-like appearance.
  • Excellent Impact Strength: The butadiene component provides superior toughness, making it significantly more resistant to shattering than GPPS and PMMA.
  • Good Chemical Resistance: It offers better resistance to oils, fats, and diluted acids than standard polystyrene, enhancing its durability in various environments.
  • Good Rigidity: The styrene and acrylonitrile units provide a robust structure, ensuring that finished parts maintain their shape and integrity.
