ABS
Introduction to ABS
ABS is a commonly used thermoplastic polymer with excellent impact, temperature and chemical resistance. It is also easy to machine and process and has a smooth surface finish. ABS can undergo various post-processing treatments, including coloring, surface metallization, welding, electroplating, bonding, hot pressing and more.
ABS is used for various applications across a wide range of industries, including automotive, manufacturing, electronics, consumer goods, construction and more.

Surface Finishes for Your Choosing
| Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture | Link | |
| | Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Matte | Learn more | |
| | Electroplating | Electroplated coating preserves the surface of parts and resists rusts and other defects from causing decay by applying electric currents to reduce metal cations. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Gloss or semi-gloss | Learn more |
| | Painting | Painting involves spraying a layer of paint onto the surface of the part. Colors can be matched to a Pantone color number of the customer’s choosing, while finishes range from matte to gloss to metallic. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Custom | Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured | Learn more |
