Frequently asked questions
Injection at 200–260 °C, mould at 40–80 °C. Reproducible shrinkage rate (0.4–0.7 %). Recommended pre-drying: 2–4 hours at 80 °C. Avoid thermal degradation above 280 °C. Good flow, suitable for thin-walled parts.
ABS is recyclable (code 7). It can be remelted and re-injected several times with slight degradation of its properties. Industrial recycling channels exist for production waste. End-of-life recycling remains limited by selective collection.
Standard ABS is not certified for food contact. Special ABS-FDA grades exist but remain marginal. Prefer PP, PE, or PETG for common food applications.
