PC/ABS Blend — Polycarbonate / Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Blend
PC/ABS blends offer an optimized balance of properties, combining the high impact strength, heat resistance, and toughness of polycarbonate with the excellent processability, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness of ABS. This makes them suitable for demanding applications where both strength and appearance are crucial.
