ABS is a blend of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. Acrylonitrile contributes strength, with heat and chemical resistance. Butadiene contributes impact strength, toughness, and low-temperature property retention. Styrene contributes gloss, processablility, and rigidity. It is used for a wide variety of engineering and decorative uses. Perhaps the most familiar product (with a Danish connection) made from ABS are LEGO blocks.
