ABS plastics are easy to treat, they have high impact resistance, they are alternative to metal and wood and they are commonly used in various industries. They form a co-polymer class of thermoplastic and the three monomers that form this co-polymer are acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Acrylonitrile increases the resistance against outdoor weather conditions and it…
