ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is an extremely popular material because of its relatively low cost and favorable mechanical properties such as impact resistance, toughness, and rigidity. Its chemical resistance is also very good and it holds up well outdoors and won’t fade when exposed to sunlight. This sets it apart from its cheaper cousin, PS (Polystyrene). It is available in a variety of colors, gloss levels and textures. It is easy to cut, weld and form which is why it is the material we recommend most often. Last but not least, it is recyclable and there is steady demand for reclaim.
