Core Features
ABS is usually opaque, while transparent ABS is modified by grafting methyl methacrylate (MMA) to match the refractive index of the dispersed rubber phase with that of the matrix phase, thereby achieving transparency. The transparency is close to that of acrylic (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC), and the impact strength of the cantilever beam and the drop ball impact strength are similar to that of general ABS, making it less prone to cracking under low impact.
Mainstream solution
Modified ABS grafted with MMA. Transparency is achieved by adjusting the refractive indices of the rubber phase and the matrix phase.
Key data
-Transparency: close to PMMA and PC
-Impact strength: Similar to general ABS, it is not easy to crack under low impact
Typical Applications
Keyboard keys, computer case, printer cover, mouse, printer/fax paper holder, noise barrier, sunshade, cosmetic bottle, artificial nails, instrument window.
