What is ABS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a material belonging to the engineering plastic family known for its high impact resistance and surface quality. In the thermoforming process high surface aesthetics<\/strong> It provides an advantage in projects requiring high precision. ABS sheets are easy to process, provide a smooth surface after CNC machining, and can be painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is PP?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PP (Polypropylene) is a widely used polymer in industry, with advantages such as lightness, chemical resistance and low cost. requiring chemical resistance<\/strong> It is frequently preferred for parts and in the food industry. PP has a flexible structure compared to ABS and behaves softer in the face of impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
