| Overview: MAGNUM™ ABS resins are thermoplastic materials which provide an excellent balance of processability, impact resistance and heat resistance as imparted by the various polymer compositions. MAGNUM ABS resins are available in a wide range of melt flow rates, impact strength and heat resistance for both high and low gloss applications manufactured by injection molding, sheet or profile extrusion and thermoforming processes. Automotive MAGNUM ABS resins offer a wide range of gloss, viscosity, impact strength and heat properties for use in numerous automotive applications. Melt flow rates from 1 to 12 g/10 min, impact strengths from 2.4 to 11 ft-lb/in and heat distortion temperatures from 117 to 194°F are available. Available primarily as natural plus concentrates, MAGNUM ABS resins are used in a wide variety of automotive applications including structural instrument panels, consoles, pillars, and exterior trim parts requiring painting and plating. MAGNUM 347 HP ABS resin is a higher flow version of 342 EZ having slightly lower impact strength. The melt flow rate of approximately 12 g/10 min is often suitable for parts with long flow lines and minimal impact requirements.Information provided by Styron |
