ABS material injection molding processing in the automotive industry applications

ABS plastic in accordance with its impact resistance can be divided into ultra-high-impact, high-impact, medium-impact, etc., in accordance with its use and performance characteristics can be further divided into general-purpose, heat-resistant, plating, flame-retardant, transparent, extruded boards, tubes and other 10 varieties, in which the general-purpose injection-grade ABS plastics market capacity is the largest.

Several other commonly used categories in the automotive industry applications specifically:

1, heat-resistant ABS injection molding processing

Enhance the heat resistance of ABS is a more common way to blend ABS and PC into ABS/PC alloy. Heat-resistant ABS is usually used in the manufacture of air conditioning vents, heat grills and other heat-resistant parts.

2, Matte type ABS injection molding processing

Strong light reflection in the automobile cab will lead to driver's discomfort and fatigue, and affect the driver's vision at night. Therefore, matte ABS is widely used in automobile cab interior parts.

3, low odor ABS injection molding processing

Automotive interiors require materials with low VOC performance to improve the air quality inside the car. Selection of suitable base material, suitable modification and production process, can produce ABS materials in line with the standards of automobile manufacturers. Low-odor ABS materials are suitable for the production of door panels, instrument panel trim, glove box, center dashboard, air conditioning vents and other interior parts, especially air conditioning vents such as the need to withstand higher temperatures and conduct air parts.

4, Plating grade ABS injection molding processing

Although ABS has a good effect on the surrounding, but in order to pursue a better aesthetic effect, it is often necessary to complete the plating of ABS, painting and other surface finishing processes. Plating grade ABS is modified by adding appropriate amount of rubber to enhance the polarity of the material. Plating grade ABS is usually used for parts such as heat dissipation grills and trim tags.
