MABS (Methyl Methacrylate-Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene)
MABS is a transparent engineering thermoplastic often referred to as “clear ABS.” It combines the optical clarity of acrylic (PMMA) with the toughness, impact resistance, and processability of ABS. MABS offers a glass-like appearance while maintaining high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for clear, durable, and impact-resistant components.
Product Features
- Glass-like transparency and high surface clarity
- High impact resistance compared to PMMA
- Excellent stress crack resistance
- Good processing behavior (injection & extrusion)
- Strong chemical and thermal stability
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Lightweight with high structural strength
Suppliers
- LG Chem
- Lotte Chemical
- Chimei Corporation
Material Benefits
- Combines clarity of PMMA with toughness of ABS
- Better impact resistance than standard acrylics
- Maintains transparency under mechanical stress
- Easy molding with smooth surface finish
- Resistant to chemicals and environmental stress cracking
- Suitable replacement for PS, PMMA, or PC in many applications
Industry Applications
Used in transparent appliance housings, display windows, control panels, and decorative covers requiring clarity and durability.
Applied in medical device housings, lab equipment covers, diagnostic components, and containers where visibility and chemical resistance are essential.
Used for transparent electronic housings, LED covers, display panels, and protective casings.
