ABS has perhaps the best balance of properties when cost is a factor. It has good chemical and stress-resistance as well as a combination of toughness with rigidity and creep resistance.  

1.        Easily machined, tough, low cost rigid thermoplastic material with High impact strength.

2.          Ideal for turning, drilling, milling, sawing, die-cutting, shearing.

3.          Good chemical and stress cracking resistance to inorganic salt solutions, alkalis, acids, and some oils.

4.          Excellent abrasion resistance; electrical properties, moisture and creep resistance.
