What Is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (Abs) Moulage par injection?
Acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (Abs) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer blend, composed of three monomers: acrylonitrile (for chemical resistance and rigidity), butadiène (for impact strength and toughness), et du styrène (for processability and aesthetic appeal). Moulage par injection is a manufacturing process that melts plastic pellets, injects the molten material into a custom mold cavity, cools it, and ejects the finished part. Ensemble, ABS injection molding produces robust, versatile components that balance performance and visual appeal—making it a top choice for industries demanding both durability and design flexibility.
Définitions clés & Aperçu du processus
| Terme | Définition |
| Acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (Abs) | A thermoplastic blend with balanced rigidity, dureté, et la transformation; available in various grades for diverse applications. |
| Moulage par injection | A cyclic mass-production process: ABS pellets → melted → injected into mold → cooled → ejected (repeats for consistent, high-volume output). |
| Cavité de moule | The hollow space in a mold that shapes the final ABS part; can have 1–64 cavities (en fonction de la taille des pièces) for efficient production. |
Material Properties of ABS
ABS’s unique monomer blend gives it a rare combination of traits that make it ideal for injection molding. Below are the most critical properties for manufacturers and buyers:
- Résistance à l'impact: Butadiene content (10–30%) makes ABS highly tough—resisting cracks even when dropped (force d'impact: 15–25 kJ/m², far higher than PS or PP).
- Rigidité & Force: Acrylonitrile provides tensile strength (30–50 MPA) et rigidité, making ABS suitable for structural parts (Par exemple, garniture automobile, electronic casings).
- Attrait esthétique: Styrene creates a smooth, glossy surface that accepts paints, tirages, and textures—perfect for consumer-facing products.
- Résistance chimique: Résistant aux huiles, graisses, and mild solvents (ideal for automotive and industrial parts exposed to harsh conditions).
Transformation: Low viscosity when melted, filling complex mold details (Par exemple, intricate toy parts, connecteurs électroniques) avec facilité.

The ABS Injection Molding Process: Excellence étape par étape
ABS’s unique melting and cooling characteristics (it is prone to warping if not processed carefully) require a optimized workflow. Our process ensures consistent quality, minimal defects, and maximum efficiency—whether you’re producing 100 prototypes ou 100,000 finished parts.
Étape 1: Préparation des matériaux
- Sélection de granulés: Choose from standard ABS (pour une utilisation générale), flame-retardant ABS (pour l'électronique), or glass-filled ABS (for extra rigidity).
- Additive Blending: Mix ABS pellets with additives and fillers (UV stabilizers for outdoor parts, colorants for branded products, glass fibers for enhanced strength).
- Séchage: ABS absorbs moisture easily (which causes bubbles in finished parts), so we dry pellets at 80–90°C for 2–4 hours in dehumidifying dryers.
Étape 2: Conception de moisissure
- Warpage Prevention: Molds for ABS include uniform cooling channels (to avoid uneven shrinkage) et angles de dépouille (to ease ejection without damaging parts).
- Aesthetic Focus: Molds for consumer-facing parts have polished surfaces (to enhance ABS’s natural gloss) or textured inserts (for custom finishes like matte or ribbed).
- Test de prototype: We 3D-print mold prototypes first to validate design—reducing costly revisions and ensuring parts fit and function as intended.
Étape 3: Injection Parameters (Critical for ABS)
ABS’s melting range (220–280 ° C) and sensitivity to temperature require precise parameter tuning. Below are our standard settings for general-purpose ABS:
| Paramètre | Ideal Range for General-Purpose ABS | But |
| Température du baril | 220–280 ° C (zones 1–4: increasing from 220°C to 280°C) | Ensures ABS melts evenly without degradation (too high = yellowing; too low = incomplete filling). |
| Pression d'injection | 80–150 MPA | Fills mold cavities completely—critical for thin-walled parts (Par exemple, electronic casings) ou géométries complexes. |
| Temps de refroidissement | 20–40 seconds | Empêche la déformation (ABS shrinks 0.5–0.8% during cooling); balances speed and part stability. |
| Température de moisissure | 50–80°C | Réduit le stress interne en parties (empêche la fissuration) and enhances surface gloss. |
Étape 4: Opérations post-moulage
Après démouloir, ABS parts may undergo:
- Garniture: Retirer l'excès de plastique (éclair) with automated tools (critique pour les pièces nécessitant des ajustements serrés, like electronic components).
- Assemblée: Joining parts via ultrasonic welding (ideal for ABS, as it bonds well without adhesives) or snap-fits (for easy disassembly/reassembly).
Inspection: Final QC checks for dimensional accuracy, résistance à l'impact, et qualité de surface (100% inspection for critical parts like medical device housings).
Matériels: Choosing the Right ABS for Your Project
Not all ABS is the same—selecting the correct grade ensures your parts meet performance, coût, and design goals. We offer a full range of ABS materials, y compris les options recyclées, to match your specific needs.
