Questions & Answers
ABS plastic rods are made of: MG38, 3453, GPM5500, Novodur P2H-AT, Terluran: HI-10, GP-22, PA-747S, PA-757, HI-121H, MG47.
The main international standards for ABS plastic rods are:
ISO 19062-1:2015 - Designation system and basis for specifications for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) materials. This standard specifies the modulus of elasticity, impact strength, melt flow index, softening point, and application range.
ISO 2580 - A standard defining the requirements for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic material used in molding and extrusion. This standard covers labeling, impact resistance, heat resistance, mechanical properties, application range, softening point, chemical composition, test methods, and melt flow.
ISO 10350-1 is a standard defining uniform methods for collecting and presenting comparable data on the basic properties of plastics. It establishes: property measurement rules, geometry, mechanical and physical properties, application areas, manufacturing methods, delivery forms, and material types.
