ABS plastic is one of the most commonly used plastics in injection molding due to its wide temperature range, good stability, and insulating properties. ABS is commonly found in plastic toys such as Lego bricks, but it’s also often used in many types of electronics, tools, and home repair equipment.

Advantages of ABS:

1. Impact Resistance – rubberlike formulations makes ABS resilient to impact
2. Surface hardness – high rigidity in certain formulations
3. Chemical Resistance – not affected by alkalis, water, and most inorganic acids
4. Uniform Shrinkage – good dimensional stability
5. Wide Temperature Range – resists heat and won’t shatter in cold
6. Machinability – easy to form after cooling
