ABS GF20

ABS GF20 (20% Glass Fiber Reinforced ABS)

ABS GF20 is an engineering thermoplastic compound filled with 20% short glass fiber based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. It is developed to overcome the limitation of ordinary unfilled ABS, which is low rigidity and easy deformation under load or elevated temperature.

Key Performance

1. High rigidity and mechanical strength: The 20% glass fiber greatly improves tensile modulus and flexural modulus, delivering outstanding load-bearing capacity and anti-deformation performance compared with general ABS.

2. Excellent dimensional stability: Low mold shrinkage and low creep, suitable for precision molded parts with tight tolerance requirements.

3. Improved heat resistance: Higher heat deflection temperature than standard ABS, allowing stable service at moderately elevated temperatures.

4. Good chemical resistance: Resistant to many common oils, detergents and weak acids & alkalis.

5. Processability: Suitable for injection molding. It can be painted and assembled, though surface gloss is lower than unfilled ABS and not recommended for electroplating grades.

6. Trade-off: Notched impact toughness drops versus neat ABS; surface may show glass fiber bloom if processing parameters are not well controlled.

Application Range

• Electrical & electronics: Internal structural brackets, mounting frames, connector housings, support frames for power supplies and control modules.

• Automotive industry: Interior structural supports, instrument skeleton parts, door module brackets, non-visible functional components.

• Home appliances: Reinforced support frames for air conditioners, fans, and cleaning equipment.

• Industrial equipment: Pump housings, valve supports, instrument bases, mechanical fixture components.

• Office equipment: Printer and copier internal structural frames that need high rigidity and stable dimensions.

Version 2: Short marketing version (for catalog / product list)

ABS GF20 is 20% glass fiber reinforced ABS resin. It features high stiffness, high tensile strength, low shrinkage, excellent dimensional stability and enhanced heat resistance. Compared with standard ABS, it is much less prone to warping or creep under sustained load. This grade is mainly processed by injection molding. Typical applications include structural brackets for electronics, automotive interior supports, appliance frames and precision mechanical components where rigidity and stable geometry are critical.
