ABS Sheets — Tough, Lightweight & Easy to Machine

ABS sheet is a tough, lightweight thermoplastic known for its excellent impact resistance, stiffness and easy machinability. ABS is widely used for enclosures, automotive parts, display components, housings and fabricated parts thanks to its smooth finish and uniform surface. It performs extremely well for CNC cutting, machining, bending and thermoforming, making it one of the most versatile sheets for industrial and commercial applications.

Together, ABS and styrene cover a broad range of indoor applications from industrial components to retail fixtures and vacuum-formed packaging. ABS provides higher impact and toughness, while styrene offers economical performance for lighter-duty parts.

PolyDX Plastic supplies both ABS and styrene sheets in multiple thicknesses and can cut and fabricate parts to your drawings. Request a Quote to discuss ABS or styrene for your next project.
