Recorded Tuesday, January 23 – Presented by Trinseo
Presented by Trinseo, join our colleague Mark Vreys, technical services leader and resident- expert on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) materials based in Terneuzen, The Netherlands, as he provides information allowing manufacturers of extrusion and injection molding applications to select the most suitable ABS materials for optimum production, product performance and cost efficiency. He will discuss the two methods of producing ABS – a traditional emulsion method and the alternative mass polymerization process – comparing the two and discussing the benefits and applications of each. Included will be a discussion of the propriety mass polymerization process used by Trinseo for MAGNUM™ ABS which is most appropriate for certain applications. ABS finds its way into furniture, automotive, buses, trucks, recreational and utility vehicles, bath tub liners, advertisement boards, luggage and doors. For optimum product performance and cost efficiency, the material requires specific performance properties, e.g., purity, low levels of volatiles, thermal stability, colorability, UV absorbers, optical brighteners, and the best way to obtain these attributes will be discussed.
This webinar is sponsored by Trinseo, provider of specialty engineered performance plastics solutions to various industries including Consumer Electronics, Medical Devices and Automotive.
