Data Sheet

MAGNUM ABS resins are thermoplastic materials which provide an excellent balance of processability, impact resistance and heat resistance as imparted by the various polymer compositions. MAGNUM ABS resins are available in a wide range of melt flow rates, impact strength and heat resistance for both high and low gloss applications manufactured by injection molding, sheet or profile extrusion and thermoforming processes.

Sheet and thermoforming grades of MAGNUM ABS resins provide excellent high and low gloss aesthetics, heat and impact resistance and stiffness for uses such as luggage, tool cases, burial vault liners, signs and recreation vehicle applications. Offering ranges in melt flow rates from 1.0 to 4.0 g/10 min., sheet Izod impacts from 2.5 to 10.5 ft-lb/in and sheet flexural moduli from 285,000 to 300,000 psi, MAGNUM ABS resins can fill a variety of needs.

MAGNUM 555 ABS resin provides the same flow and gloss as MAGNUM 800 with a slightly higher base resin color and a sheet Izod of 6.6 ft-lb/in.
