ABS
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer piping system suited to marine, cooling / refrigeration and many industrial applications / processes where a mechanically strong product is required and temperature variations are more moderate.
It has good resistance to most diluted inorganic acids, salts, animal oils and organic acids. Whilst it does not provide the same chemical resistance as UPVC or CPVC, it is better suited to applications where lower (sub-zero) temperature and lower chemical concentrations are present.
The mechanical strength and smooth surface texture of ABS makes it also suited to food and beverage and industrial applications where chilled water, slurries and abrasive materials are used.
