Recycled Polymers
rABS Injection Molding — Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
This recycled ABS grade is derived from post-consumer and post-industrial ABS waste, typically processed for injection molding. It provides a good balance of toughness, rigidity, and thermal stability, making it suitable for automotive interiors, consumer electronics, and appliance parts.
