EPiC database - Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)

This material is part of the free Environmental Performance in Construction (EPiC) Database. The EPiC Database contains embodied environmental flow coefficients for 250+ construction materials using a comprehensive hybrid life cycle inventory approach.Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic with high mechanical strength. It is tough, resistant to impacts, offers a good surface quality and is a good electrical insulator.ABS is derived from three polymers, namely acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene, mostly through emulsion. It can be moulded or extruded.ABS is generally used for pipes and fittings and sometimes for general purpose panels within the construction industry.

本材料是免费环境性能在建筑（EPiC）数据库的一部分。EPiC数据库包含了超过250种建筑材料的环境流系数，采用了一种全面的混合生命周期清单方法。丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯（ABS）是一种具有高强度机械性能的热塑性塑料。它具有韧性、抗冲击性，提供良好的表面质量，并且是良好的电绝缘体。ABS主要来源于三种聚合物，即丙烯腈、丁二烯和苯乙烯，主要通过乳液聚合法制得。它可以进行注塑或挤出成型。ABS通常用于管道和配件，有时也用于建筑行业中的通用面板。
