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 resin 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.
The automotive grades of MAGNUM ABS resins offer a wide range of gloss, viscosities, impact strength and heat properties for use in numerous automotive applications. Melt flow rates from 1 to 12 g/10 min, impact strengths from 2.5 to 12 ft-lb/in and heat distortion temperatures from 165 to 190 degrees F are available. Available primarily as natural plus concentrates, MAGNUM ABS resins are used in a wide variety of automotive applications including structural instrument panels, consoles, pillars and exterior trim parts requiring painting and plating.
Within the MAGNUM ABS product line, MAGNUM 1150 EM ABS resin is a high impact, medium heat, low gloss resin. MAGNUM 1150 EM has improved low temperature impact strength over standard grades of ABS. MAGNUM 1150 EM is used in applications like pillars and instrument panel trim.
