ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a low cost type of thermoplastic polymer that is highly durable and features a high resistance to chemical corrosion in its solid state. It has a low melting point allowing it to be moulded and shaped accordingly, making it a very versatile material. ABS plastic also features scratch resistance, high shock absorbance and high tensile strength.
