Absylux® Family

Absylux®

Absylux® ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is Westlake Plastics general purpose grade within the product family. Absylux® ABS has good chemical and stress-cracking resistance to inorganic salt solutions, alkalis, most mineral acids, and some mineral, vegetable, and animal-based oils. Absylux® ABS is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, stiffness, and moderate heat resistance are required. Absylux ABS is made from resin that is suitable for use in certain food contact applications. The resin is also UL 94HB rated at 1.5mm based on raw material supplier data. Please contact your local Westlake Plastics representative for more complete compliance standards that the resin conforms to and for specific regulatory declarations. Westlake’s unique compression molding and stress relieving processes deliver thick gauge sheets with exceptional dimensional stability allowing them to be machined in complex shapes with tight tolerances. In thin sheet form it is easy to thermoform. Absylux® ABS can be electro-plated and vacuum metalized and is easy to paint and glue.
