ABS Rod

ABS rod (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a durable copolymer prized for its excellent dimensional accuracy, strong rigidity, and superior impact resistance. Its robust tensile strength makes ABS rod a preferred choice across a wide range of engineering and thermoforming applications. This versatile material is widely used in both industrial and everyday products, including protective face guards for plastic sockets, key components in keyboards, and famously, as the base material for LEGO® bricks†.

Henry Gallacher offers expert conversion and machining of ABS rod into custom parts through our in-house CNC machining services, ensuring precision and rapid turnaround.
