ABS Compounds
Explore ABS compound grades across electrical, reinforcement, appearance and processing requirements. Compare candidates, or start with your application and ask for material support.
Find an ABS grade for your requirements
Start with the electrical target and test method to choose between antistatic and conductive ABS. Compare grades for your molding or extrusion process, then check the need for reinforcement, transparency, a specific color or a flame rating at the required wall thickness.

Source-grade values come from the supplied TDS. Marked DEMO records are fictional layout examples, not test data or a supply declaration. Confirm the metric, method and part acceptance criteria.
[1] UL 94 V-0 at 3.0 mm is listed for 346A-FR. Confirm the formulation, color and applicable thickness.
Start with the application
The same application can lead to different grades. Use the part requirements to narrow the choice.
Rigid bases & carriers
For evaluating functional bases and component carriers. Geometry, stiffness and contact locations guide the shortlist.

Before you enquire
Questions about
choosing an ABS grade
You can start with a specification, a current material or simply the part you need to make.
How do I choose antistatic or conductive ABS?
Choose against the finished part’s electrical specification, rather than the grade name or pellet appearance. Share the required measurement, range, unit and test method. If the target is not yet defined, describe the application so we can discuss the next step.
Can color, flame and electrical requirements be combined?
Ask for a review of the combination you need. Confirm the proposed formulation, color and flame-test thickness, then evaluate appearance and electrical performance on a representative part.
Can I trial a material in my existing mold?
Share the current resin, part drawing, wall thickness and any molding issues. Request grade-specific processing guidance and agree on what the trial needs to demonstrate.
What should I provide for samples or a quotation?
Send your application, preferred grade if known, intended quantity and destination. Sample arrangements, packaging, minimum order quantity and dispatch availability are confirmed for the enquiry.
