-83.86%ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a tough, impact-resistant engineering plastic. It weighs 1.04 g/cm³, takes 34–45 MPa in tension, works up to about 85–105 °C and machines with a good finish. That is why it is used for electronics enclosures and housings, product prototypes, covers, brackets and fixtures. At PREMSA we CNC mill and turn it from your file, starting at a single part with an instant price.
ABS plastic properties: mechanical, physical and thermal data to choose the material for your machined part.
Material Type
Amorphous thermoplastic polymer
Primary Characteristics
Tough and impact resistant, lightweight (1.04 g/cm³), easy to machine, good finish, can be bonded and painted
Tensile Strength (Ultimate)
5,000–6,500 psi (34–45 MPa)
Tensile Strength (Yield)
4,000–6,000 psi (28–41 MPa)
Flexural Strength
6,000–9,000 psi (41–62 MPa)
Elongation at Break
10–50%
Izod Impact Strength
High (notched: ~2–7 ft-lb/in)
Hardness
Rockwell R90–R110
Density
1.04 g/cm³ (0.0376 lb/in³)
Elastic Modulus
300,000 psi (2.1 GPa)
Heat Deflection Temperature
85–105 °C (185–221 °F)
Glass Transition Temperature
~105 °C (221 °F)
Thermal Conductivity
0.17–0.20 W/m·K
Machinability
Excellent: it cuts clean and leaves a good finish; it is machined with sharp tooling and without heating the part so it doesn’t melt or distort
Formability
Good (thermoforming and molding compatible)
Chemical Resistance
Fair: resists many dilute acids and alkalis; solvents like acetone attack it
Moisture Absorption
Low
Common Forms
Plate, sheet and round rod
Typical Applications
Electronics enclosures and housings, product prototypes, covers and lids, brackets, fixtures, equipment and product parts

What people ask most about ABS plastic parts: what it is, uses, machining, strength, temperature, chemicals, outdoor use, painting, bonding, price and tolerances.
ABS is chosen for parts that have to be light, tough and finish well: electronics enclosures and housings, product prototypes, covers and brackets.
At PREMSA Industries we machine ABS with CNC milling and turning from your file, from a prototype to production.
ABS is chosen when the part has to take impacts, stay light and look good.
If your drawing doesn’t specify tolerances, we machine to ISO 2768-m (medium). On dimensions you call out —holes, bosses, lid fits and walls— we can hold ±0.05 mm (±0.002 in), and critical dimensions are checked in inspection. ABS expands with heat, so tight dimensions are measured at room temperature.
ABS is machined with CNC milling, CNC turning, drilling and tapping. It is cut with sharp tooling, a good feed and air or coolant so it doesn’t heat up: if heat builds, the plastic melts at the edge and the part distorts. On enclosures with thin walls, material is left for clamping and the last pass is light.
Because it is tough, light and machines well, ABS is used in many parts made with CNC machining.
ABS is usually the right choice when the part has to take impacts, stay light and look good, without heat or strong solvents.
