PC+ABS
ABS+PC is a blend of ABS and polycarbonate, combining toughness, impact resistance, and improved heat resistance. It is widely used in structural components and enclosures.
At GD Prototyping, we supply PC-ABS, a high-performance thermoplastic blend of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). This material combines the strength and heat resistance of PC with the flexibility and processability of ABS, resulting in a balanced plastic that performs well in both structural and cosmetic applications.
Applications of PC ABS
- Automotive Industry – Used in dashboards, interior trims, and structural parts requiring impact resistance and heat stability.
- Electronics and Electricals – Ideal for housings, connectors, and enclosures due to its strength and flame-retardant options.
- Industrial Equipment – Applied in machine covers, handles, and components exposed to mechanical stress.
- Consumer Goods – Commonly used in power tool casings, sports equipment, and household products requiring durability.
- 3D Printing and Prototyping – Popular for functional prototypes thanks to its balance of strength, toughness, and surface finish.
Benefits
- Excellent Impact Resistance: PC delivers toughness even at low temperatures, ensuring durability in demanding applications.
- Enhanced Heat Resistance: With better thermal performance than ABS alone, it withstands high operating temperatures.
- Dimensional Stability: The blend resists warping and deformation, providing consistency for precision-molded parts.
- Good Processability: It is easy to mold and fabricate, making it suitable for mass production and complex part designs.
- Balanced Performance-to-Cost Ratio: It provides a strong mix of strength, heat resistance, and affordability, making it a cost-effective alternative to pure engineering plastics.
