ABS Plastic Sheets are a combination of three different materials Acrylonitrile, Butadiene, and Styrene, each giving its own set of useful properties.  ABS provides an optimum balance of tensile impact strengths. It features ease of forming, excellent toughness and rigidity and is particularly good for deep draw vacuum forming for products likely to receive abuse in the form of knocks, scuffing and scratching. ABS also has ecellent chemical resistance. Mulford offers a variety of grades of ABS including specialist high heat and flame retardant resins as well as different finishes.

ABS sheet is stocked in a Gloss and Hair-cell finish in Black and White from 1.0mm to 4.5mm in a 2440 x 1220mm sheet size. UV stabilised ABS panels are also available upon request.

ASA sheet (Acrylic, Styrene, and Acrylonitrile) has significantly improved weatherability performance compared to that of other styrene materials. The acrylate rubber system has better resistance to UV radiation and attack from atmospheric oxygen than the butadiene rubber system in ABS. Polymers exposed to a combination of heat, UV degradation and atmospheric oxygen over extended periods of time can have their properties severely affected. Retention of physical properties, especially toughness, is paramount in most outdoor applications.

Not only can the physical performance of a part deteriorate but yellowing, reduction in gloss and discolouration can also occur. Low levels of yellowing are extremely important for applications where long term aesthetic and appearance is important. When it comes to yellowing and gloss retention ASA is significantly better than ABS which shows signs of losing gloss more rapidly. The ASA material will exhibit far superior gloss retention properties than either of the other two styrene materials.
