When to choose

A good fit when…

  • you are prototyping a moulded ABS product
  • you need heat resistance up to ~100 °C
  • the part will need sanding, painting or bonding
When not to

Choose something else when…

  • the part will be outdoors for long periods – choose ASA

Properties

Per datasheet: tensile strength ~31 MPa, service temperature up to ~100 °C. Chemical smoothing is available – for a smooth, glossy surface.
