PC/ABS Alloys (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
PC (polycarbonate) compounds are amorphous, thermoplastics that possess outstanding impact strength and excellent colorability. PC/ABS (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) compounds are the result of alloying these two amorphous thermoplastics to take advantage of the polycarbonate’s toughness and the ease of processing ABS.
PC/ABS can provide impact strength, heat resistance, custom color, very good aesthetics, and dimensional stability. They can be provided unfilled or filled with specialized fillers, mineral or fiberglass reinforcement. They are available in flame-retardant grades (both non-halogenated and brominated), a wide range of melt viscosities and recyclable PC/ABS content.
PC/ABS compounds are part of our AuroraGuard™ family of products. This product line also includes a recyclable grade series. These are filled with specialized fillers, minerals, or glass. These grades exhibit a superb combination of thermal & mechanical properties, excellent impact strength, high heat resistance, dimensional stability, great processability, flame retardancy, and a wide range of viscosities.
We can work with you to develop custom sustainable materials that reduce manufacturing energy, produce less waste, and aid in water conservation.
