- Ease of Processing – Highly adaptable for injection moulding and complex geometries.
- Flame Retardant Grades Available – Suitable for applications requiring fire safety compliance.
Gebabs vs. Other Engineering Polymers: How Does It Compare?
Selecting the right engineering-grade thermoplastic is essential for product longevity and performance. Here’s how Gebabs plastic compares:
| Feature | Gebabs (ABS) | Standard Polycarbonate | PVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact Resistance | Excellent | High | Moderate |
| Heat Resistance | High | Excellent | Moderate |
| Chemical Resistance | Outstanding | Moderate | High |
| Ease of Processing | High | Moderate | High |
| Flame Retardant Options | Available | Available | Limited |
Unlike PVC, Gebabs sheets provide superior impact resistance and processability, while being easier to mould than polycarbonate.
