PC/ABS Plastic
A family of opaque polycarbonate/ABS blends used in technical housings and visible components. The selected blend determines the balance of impact, heat behavior and processability.
What to consider with PC/ABS.
Blend selection
Compare the actual grades against the operating brief.
Housing applications
Coordinate rigidity, fit and visible surfaces.
Finish planning
Review molded texture, color and secondary operations.
Where PC/ABS enters the conversation.
Start with the part’s function, then confirm that the selected grade and geometry meet the actual requirements.
Equipment enclosures
Mounting bosses, openings and mating covers.
Control surrounds
Visible regions and attachment interfaces.
Consumer-device shells
Appearance and everyday handling requirements.
Three useful selection checks.
Name the grade where required
A blend family does not define a single performance level.
Share the environment
Include temperature, chemical contact and any flame requirements.
Approve the complete housing
Check fit, surface and joining details against the drawing.
PC/ABS material questions.
How do we choose the right PC/ABS grade?
Share the intended use, loading, environment and any specified grade or tests. The material family alone does not define final performance.
What information should the drawing include?
Identify critical dimensions, mating features, cosmetic faces and any special finish or inspection requirements.
What should we check on samples?
Check fit, surface and joining details against the drawing. Use the agreed drawing and project requirements as the acceptance reference.
Have a PC/ABS component in mind?
Send your drawing, preferred grade, target quantity and the conditions the part will face.
