Painting ABS

Overview

Painting is possible on all kinds of ABS, but satisfactory results cannot be expected for painted products due to the decrease in impact and adhesive strength caused by solvents. Plastic painting is divided into thin-layer painting and thick-layer painting by the thickness of painting and the whole painting and partial painting area. Thin layer painting is completed by spraying only once for whole painting, and pad printing is done for partial painting. Thick-layer painting is usually completed by spraying twice or more. Paint should be applied separately to products that can be painted instantly and to products that should be immersed in solvents for a long time. The latter needs to maintain material properties and good adhesive properties. Starex PT-0170M and PT-0180 have been developed to satisfy the above properties.

Features

1) High Impact Strength:
The Izod impact strength is relatively high, showing a value of over >30kgm/cm (1/4″, notched).

2) High Melt Flow:
High impact strength and melt flow enable the good injection molding processability of thick or thin-walled products and sophisticated products that have many bosses.

3) Paintability and Chemical Resistance:
Good adhesion between pigment and resin provides excellent paintability, limiting crack occurrence and surface erosion.

4) Impact Strength at low temperature:
This material can maintain an Izod impact strength of over >20 kgcm/cm (1/4 “, notched) at a low temperature (-10℃).
