Flame-Retardant ABS
Flame-retardant ABS is a modified ABS with added fire-resistant properties, commonly used in electronics, appliances, and enclosures requiring safety compliance.
Flame Retardant ABS Plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is an engineered thermoplastic that combines the strength, toughness, and versatility of standard ABS with added fire-retardant properties. By incorporating specialized additives, it is designed to resist ignition and slow flame propagation, making it suitable for safety-critical applications where fire performance is essential.
This material retains the well-known impact resistance, machinability, and dimensional stability of ABS while enhancing compliance with fire safety regulations. Commonly used in electronics enclosures, automotive interiors, household appliances, and industrial components, flame retardant ABS plastic provides an excellent balance between mechanical performance and safety assurance.
At GD Prototyping, we provide high-quality flame retardant ABS to support industries that demand reliable, safe, and durable prototyping and production materials.
