[News & Trends]:Differences and applications between modified and unmodified ABS

ABS is a commonly used engineering plastic with good mechanical properties and chemical corrosion resistance, therefore it is widely used in various fields. ABS modification and non modification are different ways of treating ABS materials during the production process, resulting in different characteristics and application scenarios


ABS modification is the process of enhancing and improving the performance of ABS materials by adding other substances or changing the production process on the basis of the original ABS. Common modification methods include reinforcement modification, heat resistance modification, flame retardant modification, etc. By adding reinforcing materials such as glass fiber and carbon fiber, the strength and hardness of ABS can be improved; Heat resistance modification can maintain stable performance of ABS materials at high temperatures; Flame retardant modification can give ABS a higher flame retardant level and meet stricter safety requirements. Modified ABS materials typically have a wider range of applications and higher performance requirements, making them suitable for automotive components, electronics, engineering machinery, and other fields


Relatively speaking, non modified ABS materials have not undergone the above treatment methods, and they maintain the basic properties and characteristics of the original ABS material. This material has a lower cost and good processing performance, but its corresponding mechanical strength and heat resistance are not as good as modified ABS. Non modified ABS is commonly used in some products that do not require high mechanical properties but require high surface quality and cost control, such as daily necessities, packaging materials, and other fields


In industrial production, selecting ABS modified and non modified materials requires making appropriate choices based on actual usage scenarios and requirements. Modified ABS is suitable for use in environments with high material performance requirements, which can improve the stability and durability of products; Non modified ABS is suitable for situations that require high cost and processing performance, and can meet daily use and appearance requirements


Overall, both modified and unmodified ABS have their own advantages and disadvantages, and suitable materials should be selected based on actual needs. With the continuous development and growth of the engineering plastic market, ABS materials will demonstrate their superior performance and application prospects in more fields.
