TECARAN ABS natural
Ensinger TECARAN ABS material is a terpolymer and an amorphous resin. It is manufactured by combining three different compounds. The three that make up TECARAN ABS are acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. TECARAN ABS occupies the unique position of being a bridge between the general industrial and other higher performance engineering thermoplastics. Its performance is characterized by toughness and impact strength even at low temperatures, good stiffness and machinability.
