ABS-ZA0211

ABS ZA0211

ABS ZA0211 is a general-purpose acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin designed for high-performance injection molding applications[cite: 13, 15]. Manufactured by Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co., Ltd. (ZPC), this grade is specially formulated to deliver a high gloss finish combined with high impact strength[cite: 10, 13, 14]. Its balanced physical and mechanical properties make it an excellent choice for manufacturing durable components with an aesthetic surface appearance[cite: 13, 21, 22].

Key Features

• General-purpose injection molding grade ABS[cite: 13, 15].
• High gloss surface finish for premium product appearance[cite: 13, 14].
• High impact resistance (Charpy notched impact strength of 23 KJ/m²)[cite: 13, 14, 22].
• Good mechanical properties, including reliable tensile strength and flexural modulus[cite: 21, 22].
• Excellent processing stability with well-defined molding shrinkage[cite: 20, 27].

Processing Notes

• Drying: Under normal packaging and transport conditions, the moisture content of the resin is between 0.3% and 0.8%[cite: 33]. Poorly dried resin can cause silver streaks or splay marks on the molded parts[cite: 33]. It is highly recommended to use the specified drying process to reduce the moisture content to below 0.1% prior to molding[cite: 33].
• Recycled Material (Regrind): Scrap and sprues generated during injection molding can be crushed and reused[cite: 35]. However, the proportion of regrind mixed with virgin material should be kept as low as possible, with a recommended maximum ratio of under 15%[cite: 35].
