Excellent mechanical properties**
- High impact resistance (butadiene contributes toughness)
- Good rigidity and strength (styrene contributes hardness)
- Wear resistance, suitable for manufacturing gears, housings, etc.
2. **Good processing performance**
- Easy to injection mold, extrude, 3D print (such as ABS materials commonly used in FDM printing)
- Can be electroplated, sprayed, and bonded, suitable for surface decoration
3. **Chemical resistance and thermal stability**
- Acid, alkali, and grease resistant (but soluble in ketones and ester solvents)
- Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 80°C (some heat-resistant grades can reach above 100°C)
4. **Electrical insulation**
- Suitable for electronic and electrical housings, sockets, switches, etc.
5. **Low cost**
- Compared with engineering plastics such as PC (polycarbonate) and PA (nylon), ABS is more economical
