LAYSOLAC ™

Description

LAYSOLAC ™ is a high-performance ABS polymer known for its balanced combination of rigidity, impact resistance, and thermal stability—making it ideal for demanding yet design-focused applications.

ABS is a terpolymer crafted from three monomers:

Acrylonitrile enhances chemical resistance and hardness
Butadiene delivers toughness and low-temperature impact strength
Styrene provides rigidity, surface gloss, and ease of processing

This blend results in a durable, easy-to-mould material with excellent surface quality and colorability. Its phase-separated morphology allows for strong mechanical properties and aesthetic adaptability, supporting finishes like chrome plating, painting, and laser marking

Engineering Insight

ABS stands out in engineering design due to its strain-rate-sensitive impact behaviour, allowing it to absorb sudden shocks without fracturing. This makes it highly effective in structural parts where both safety and longevity are critical. Its unique molecular architecture enables localized deformation, reducing the risk of brittle failure. Additionally, its low warpage, tight dimensional control, and compatibility with surface treatments make it a preferred choice in precision-moulded parts across automotive, electronics, and appliance industries.

Product Properties

Highly mouldable and compatible with various coloring, painting, and electroplating processes, ABS is widely used in sectors that demand both structural integrity and surface aesthetics.

Grades like LAYSOLAC ™ are tailored for enhanced surface finish, offering superior adhesion for coatings and metal plating, making them ideal for decorative or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)-shielded applications.

Whether you’re designing sleek housings for gadgets or rugged parts for transportation, ABS offers dimensional stability, impact resilience, and aesthetic adaptability—making it a cornerstone in modern polymer engineering.
