Due to its special physical and chemical properties, it is very popular in various industries. This material has high impact resistance, flexibility, high strength, resistance to chemical damage, thermal and electrical stability, and as a result, it is used in many parts of the industry.
ABS or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene produced by Petro Arman Polymer Pars is a thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in the manufacture of various products. It is made from the polymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene. ABS plastic is known for its toughness, impact resistance, strength and heat deflection temperature, which can be changed by changing the ratio of its components. Acrylonitrile in ABS adds chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, hardness and strength, and increases heat deflection temperature. ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry, for home appliances, and in the production of electronic enclosures.
Regarding the compatibility or non-compatibility of this polymer with nature, it should be noted that it is not generally approved or disapproved in terms of compatibility with the environment, but is independent of this discussion. Some of the environmental benefits of ABS include:
Recyclability: ABS is one of the recyclable polymers that can be recycled and used as a raw material in reproducing products.
Less energy consumption: ABS production is associated with less energy consumption than many other materials used in various industries.
Long life: ABS has a high resistance to impact and wear, and as a result, products made from this material have a longer life and avoid re-use of materials.
In general, we at Petro Arman Polymer Pars are trying to reduce the use of harmful substances for the environment and humans based on our constant commitment to preserve and maintain the environment, in the process of producing our products, and we believe that recycling is the best method for Compatibility with the environment.
Some other uses of ABS in different industries are:
Gardening tools:
Because ABS is cheap and durable, it is often used to make gardening tools. Miniature shovels, rakes, shovels, claws and other hand tools are often made of ABS to provide a low-cost and lightweight set of tools.
Musical Instruments
ABS plastic is often used to make musical instruments such as recorders and plastic clarinets, as well as tambourines, harmonicas, flutes, bugles, and percussion instruments.
Medical applications
ABS is not used for medical implants but has many medical applications. ABS resins are used because of their exceptional purity, low residual monomers, high consistency. Medical applications of ABS plastic include making nebulizers, drug delivery systems, compressors, and medical equipment housings.
automobile industry
ABS is often used as an alternative to metal in the automotive industry. Various auto parts that seek weight reduction factors use ABS thermoplastic. ABS is commonly used for parts that include dashboard components, seat backs, seat belt components, door handles, door supports, pillar trims, and instrument panels.
Pipes and fittings
ABS is used for piping and fittings installed in commercial and residential environments because it is cost effective. Will not peel, rot, fade, dissolve, or leak unless punctured. ABS is an ideal choice for use in outdoor applications, underground, in extreme cold and places not exposed to direct sunlight. ABS piping is often used in drain, waste, and ventilation (DWV) piping systems.
Making a vacuum cleaner
ABS is also used for vacuum cleaners. Most vertical and canister frames in vacuum cleaners are now made primarily of ABS plastics with steel, polycarbonates, and other high impact plastics where extra strength is needed. ABS plastic works well for large vacuum designs and enclosures where cost-effective, lightweight and rugged materials are required.
3D building materials
ABS is one of the most popular options used for 3D building materials. It is more heat resistant than PLA (another popular 3D printing material), but maintains the color diversity, strength, and build qualities required in additive manufacturing processes.
Electrical and electronic applications
ABS plastic is used for electronic applications, including computer keyboards, printer parts, and electronic enclosures, because it is an electrical insulator.
Making a car prototype
ABS plastic is commonly used for prototyping. It is used in various rapid prototyping processes, such as 3D printing and injection molding. This plastic is very popular due to its reasonable manufacturing cost and ease of use.
