Aortha ABS 

Aortha ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) sheeting is a general purpose material that suits most applications where robustness is paramount.

It has very good toughness with a high degree of rigidity, and heat resistance.  It is suited for both vacuum and press forming.

During thermoforming the use of a heated steel or aluminium mould is strongly advised. The ABS material is easy to thermoform and has a broad visco-elastic range that gives good melt strength over a large temperature.

Typical thermoforming temperatures: 150-185°C.


General features:

• Very good impact strength compared to most polymer types
• High rigidity
• Easy to thermoform
• Lightweight
• Versatile

Applications:  Heel Caps, Orthopaedic Helmets

Sheet size:  8' x 4'  -  2440 x 1220mm.
