Absylux ^® Static-Control ABS
(Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) Specifications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ABS has good chemical and stress-cracking resistance to inorganic salt solutions, alkalies, mineral acids (except strong oxidizing acids), and some mineral, vegetable, and animal oils. ABS is easily machined to close tolerances, is tough, dimensionally stable, and may also be thermoformed.

By adding special conductive materials to the resin, the conductivity of ABS is increased to control static electricity formation or conduction. These additives may be in the form of non-carbon alloys, carbon powder, or carbon fibers. Some properties of the original ABS material are modified by the addition of fillers, but chemical resistance, strength, and manufacturability remain generally the same.

AntiStatic materials are available in NATURAL and BLACK colors, conductive material is always BLACK in color.

( see also Standard ABS Specifications )

Static Dissipative / Anti-Static (SD) :
Resistivity generally between 10 ⁷ and 10 ¹² ohms per square.   Initial electrostatic charges are suppressed.

Conductive (CN) :
Resistivity generally between 10 ³ and 10 ⁶ ohms per square.  No initial charge, provides path for charge to bleed off.
