High Gloss Craft ABS Injection Mold Household Mould Products

Material Processing Concerns:

As the water absorption values in the table above show, ABS tends to absorb moisture. Therefore, it must be fully dried before processing, which adds time and costs — but failing to remove moisture can result in molded parts with cloudiness, bubbles, or surface lines. If your parts require a high gloss, highly reflective surface, more than nine hours of dry time may be required.

Viscosity:

Melt temperature is another important processing consideration because of its relationship with viscosity, a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. If ABS pellets are melted beyond their plasticizing temperature, viscosity increases and the material becomes more difficult to mold. This behavior differs from other amorphous plastics, where viscosity decreases beyond the plasticization, or processing, temperature.

ABS is a commonly used plastic injection molding material with three main ingredients: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. Each of these monomers imparts specific properties and provides ABS terpolymer with a robust combination of features. The “A” in ABS, acrylonitrile, imparts hardness and heat and chemical resistance. The “B”, which stands for butadiene, provides toughness and impact resistance. The “S”, for styrene, offers gloss, strength, and processability.

ABS plastic is relatively inexpensive to purchase and relatively easy to injection mold. It’s often used in consumer goods and electronic components, but isn’t the best choice for outdoor applications since it lacks strong resistance to sunlight and weather. However, ABS does support the use of additives that can increase its resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light. Filler materials can also be added to Injection molded ABS for added strength. Filler materials include glass, nylon, acrylic, and stainless steel fibers.

Additives and fillers can affect processing parameters, however, and different grades of ABS may contain different combinations of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. That’s why it’s important to partner with an ABS injection molder who understands more than just the advantages and applications for this popular plastic. The material properties of ABS and the way that it’s processed are critical to the success of your project.
