ABS compound

Abs compound (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is one of the most important and widely used polymers produced for various commercial purposes. The full name of this product is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, which is an amorphous matte and an expensive polymer. ABS compound is used in various industries such as automobile manufacturing, the birth of electrical appliances and the construction of the body of household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, telephones, tea makers, etc.

Based on the full name of this polymer, ABS consists of three components: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, and its use can be changed by increasing or decreasing each of the monomers.

What is abs compound?

As we said in the introduction; Polymer materials are one of the few materials that are used in all kinds of industries. One of these widely used polymers is compound. Compound is actually a type of pigment that is used to increase the level of resistance in plastic materials. One of the best types of compounds is abs.

How is abs compound produced?

ABS compound is produced in different ways. One of these methods is the combination of butadiene-acrylonitrate mechanical copolymer or BAN with styrene-acrylonitrate copolymer or SAN. The production of this compound, however it is done, eventually leads to the production of a polymer that has higher impact resistance and better properties than polystyrene.

Types of abs compound and its monomers

Dabs compounds are divided into two groups, black and milky (natural), in terms of standard type and color, both of which are used in food packaging. As we said before, ABS is a copolymer whose three monomers are butadiene, styrene and acrylonitrile. Each of these monomers has unique properties and characteristics. Butadiene enhances the stiffness and compressive strength of ABS. Styrene is used in better plasticity and hardness of ABS, and acrylonitrile increases the resistance of AB against chemical reactions and heat. Due to the various properties that have been mentioned, the value of buying all kinds of compandabs is high and it has different uses.

Methods such as physical mixing or addition copolymerization can be used to polymerize ABS monomers.

properties of the compound abs

Among the properties of abs compound, the following can be mentioned.

The appropriateness of compandabs price, hardness, impactability, stability of dimensions and sizes, machinability, electrical insulation, suitable for welding and paintability.

Applications of abs compound in industry

The basic application of this compound is in the automotive industry and the manufacturing of auto parts. Among its other uses, the following can be mentioned:

Manufacturing car body parts such as dashboards, door covers, decorative parts inside the car, seat belts, etc., production of injection parts (such as Lego), phone production, home appliance body production, electrical equipment cover production, computer body production, cryogenic insulation production And…

The alloys used in the abs compound

ABS/PVC alloy with good impact resistance and high flame resistance
Nylon/ABS alloys that have optimal chemical and thermal resistance.
ABS/PC alloys with improved heat resistance, impact resistance and processability.
Polysulfate/ABS alloys that give the compound good chemical, thermal and environmental resistance.

Disadvantages of abs compound

Disadvantages such as sensitivity to flame, dullness, change of properties and color against sunlight are present in compandabs, however, these disadvantages can be overcome through alloying. For example, by alloying this compound with PVC, the sensitivity to flame can be reduced and it can be made slow burning. Also, with the compound DABs and methyl methacrylate alloy, the transparency of this compound increases.

Petrochemicals that produce abs compound

Tabriz Quaid Basir Petrochemicals in Iran are one of the producers of ABS compound in Iran. This polymer is produced in 50 grades, including normal grades, flame-resistant grades, electroplatable grades, and heat-resistant grades.

How to recycle abs compound in Iran

Crushing and heating are methods of recycling this compound. To prevent yellowing and thermal degradation, it is very important to adjust the granulation temperature by the granulator. Among the problems that arise when recycling ABS is pollution from impact polystyrenes, which can leave serious effects on the recycled materials. In Iran, gasoline is used to separate polystyrene from ABS before the milling process. If gasoline can dissolve it, it’s polystyrene, and if it doesn’t, it’s ABS. If the mixture is ground, the separation process is done through brine. For accurate separation of this mixture, in other countries, electrostatic and floating floor methods are used.

Advances and innovations in abs compound production

The many and increasing applications of ABS have led to the production of other alloys to overcome its disadvantages. Including mbs, which has various advantages over ABS, including better transparency and high resistance to sunlight. However, MBS has lower tensile strength compared to ABS.

The butadiene that is present on the oxidized surface is dissolved and a series of small holes remain in the surface which are chemically active. These holes are a suitable place for copper and nickel deposition and also for the absorption of catalysts. In addition to the mentioned cases, these holes will increase the mechanical adhesion of the plated layer on the plastic.
