ABS Adhesive jointed plastics

RobustTransmission of solid bodies is a typical application for ABS where its abrasive resistance and robustness come to the fore.Low temperaturesTemperatures as low as -40 C present no problem for ABS. Thus use with low temperatures fluids and refrigerants is an ideal application for ABS.Low Thermal ConductivityABS has a thermal conductivity 2000 times lower than copper. The need for insulation can often be totally eliminated and your whole systems efficiency can be radically improved.Excellent Impact ResistanceABS lends itself to applications where accidental damage can be imagined, e. g. open site applications or where blockages could occur in the system. These can easily be relieved with use of hammer without damaging the system. The crack propagation resistance of ABS is exceptional in comparison with other thermoplastics.Reduced Maintenance CostsLack of corrosion and the cleanliness of ABS will reduce your maintenance costs to a minimum.Quick InstallationJoints are made using a special cement, no investment is required and only the minimum of training is necessary. The material is very light and easy to handle which also helps speed up installation.DuctileAlthough durable and tough, ABS is ductile and ideal for applications where the system foundations may move. e. g. underground or where moving parts are involved.
