Optimal Grades for Mass ABS

Asahi Kasei's synthetic rubbers are ideal for mass ABS. We offer a wide range of grades with various styrene solution viscosities (SV) to achieve both impact resistance and gloss.

Optimal Grades for Mass ABS

Achieving Impact Resistance and Gloss
with Mass ABS

Asahi Kasei's synthetic rubbers are ideal for mass ABS. We offer a wide range of grades with various styrene solution viscosities (SV) which, by controlling the particle size of synthetic rubber in mass ABS, enables the combination of impact resistance and gloss. These grades are used in applications such as appliance exteriors, automotive interiors, and building materials.
