LUSTRAN® ABS 488

LUSTRAN® ABS 488 is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) grade. Exhibits medium-to-high impact, very high-gloss, good balance of physical properties, high toughness and very good moldability. Shows improved surface aesthetics versus Lustran ABS 448. Suitable for processing by injection molding. Recommended for manufacturing of home appliances (vacuum cleaners); musical equipment; and office products requiring high gloss, such as keyboard keys and pen barrels. It is also used in swimming pool filter pump housings.
