What is PC/ABS?

A High Performance Polymer Alloy

PC/ABS is a polymer blend created by combining polycarbonate (PC) and ABS materials.

By combining the advantages of both polymers, PC/ABS provides:

• Excellent impact resistance
• Good surface appearance
• Improved processing performance
• Balanced mechanical properties
• Good dimensional stability

PC/ABS has become one of the most widely used engineering polymer blends in modern industries.
