Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene/Polycarbonate Alloy - ABS/PC |
Polymer Type |
Thermoplastic
|
Advantages |
Improved stiffness over conventional high impact ABS. Better processing properties than Polycarbonate. Improved notched izod impact resistance compared to high impact ABS.
|
Disadvantages |
Limited resistance to hot water. Lower notched izod impact resistance ( c. 0.55 KJ/m - 10.3 ft lb/in ) compared to Polycarbonate ( c. 0.7 KJ/m - 13.1 ft lb/in ).
