Introduction
ABS resin is a terpolymer of three monomers of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene, and has the common properties of the three components. Therefore, ABS has good rigidity, high impact strength, good heat resistance, good resistance for low temperature, good chemical resistance, excellent mechanical strength and electrical properties. It is easy for processing, as it has good processing dimensional stability and surface gloss. It is also easy to paint and color, and can also be sprayed, secondary processing such as electroplating, welding and bonding.
The largest application areas of ABS resin are household appliances, office equipment, transportation, daily necessities, toys and building materials. It is also used in packaging, furniture, sports and entertainment, machinery and instrumentation industries.
Plant
Zhejiang Petrochemical adopts the emulsion method technology to build the ABS plant and its corresponding supporting facilities, and the products are mainly high-grade general materials. The total planned production capacity of the project is 1.6 million tons/year, which will be constructed in two phases, and the designed capacity of the first phase is 400,000 tons/year.

Note:
(1) The back pressure and screw speed mentioned above are only general guidelines;
(2) In certain cases, such as low-speed injection molding, thin-wall molding and gas-assisted molding, these data may not be applicable or need to be adjusted for use;
(3) In order to prevent the material from degrading in the die before shutdown, or the material flowing out of the extrusion stage, it is recommended that the initial setting temperature be slightly lower.
