is achieved by matching the refractive indices of the
matrix resin (the transparent acrylate acrylonitrile
styrene polymer) with the polybutadiene rubber
impact modifier. MABS has the highest impact resis-
tance of all the styrenic plastics. Sometimes called
transparent ABS. Often used as a modifier in other
plastics.
Key properties of MABS are excellent transpar-
ency, high-impact strength, and good chemical
resistance.
• Excellent transparency
• High-impact strength
• Good mechanical strength and rigidity
• High heat resistance
• Good resistance to chemicals and stress cracking
• Good processability.
