- Superior Impact Resistance: Stronger than standard ABS and tougher than pure polycarbonate.
- Excellent Thermal Stability: Withstands extreme temperatures without losing performance.
- Outstanding Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, cleaning agents, and solvents.
- Easy Processing and Moulding: Ideal for complex injection moulding applications.
- Flame Retardant Grades Available: Meets strict safety regulations in electrical and automotive sectors.
LG ABS vs. Other Engineering Polymers: How Does It Compare?
Choosing the right engineering-grade thermoplastic blend is crucial for ensuring durability and efficiency. Here’s how LG ABS plastic compares:
| Feature | LG ABS (ABS) | Standard ABS | Polycarbonate (PC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact Resistance | Excellent | Moderate | High |
| Heat Resistance | High | Limited | Excellent |
| Chemical Resistance | Outstanding | Moderate | Moderate |
| Ease of Processing | High | High | Moderate |
| Flame Retardant Options | Available | Limited | Available |
Unlike standard ABS, LG ABS sheets offer enhanced impact strength and temperature resistance, while being easier to process than pure polycarbonate.
