Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer (ABS) is a terpolymer composed of three distinct monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. This material is classified as an amorphous thermoplastic and offers a balanced combination of flow, impact, and thermal properties. Its excellent flow characteristics enable the production of thin-walled parts with short cycle times, even when demanding product design specifications are required. ABS is available in a wide array of colors, making it an attractive material for applications requiring deep color saturation and a glossy surface finish. Furthermore, the material is exceptionally well-suited for metal plating (electroplating).
The automotive and electrical industries rely on ABS products, and household and consumer goods also dominate global demand. Examples of ABS applications include automotive and electronic components, motorcycle helmets, toys, housings for electrical appliances and computers, edge bands in the furniture industry, and filaments for 3D printers.

Polypropylene (PP) ranks as the second most important plastic, accounting for 20% of total global plastic production by volume. This semi-crystalline thermoplastic belongs to the polyolefin group and is available in various grades depending on its manufacturing process and chemical structure: PP homopolymer (PPH), PP copolymer (PPC), and PP random copolymer (PPR). Its properties are similar to those of polyethylene (PE), but it is harder and exhibits a higher heat deflection temperature. By incorporating various additives such as glass fibers, glass beads, or mineral fillers, the material can be tailored to meet the diverse requirements of different industries. It is odorless, tasteless, skin-compatible, and, due to its non-polar nature, exhibits excellent chemical resistance. The material is found in all aspects of daily life, particularly in the packaging industry and in food and household applications. Polypropylene products are also extensively used in the automotive industry for interior components and in the medical sector. Children's toys, baby accessories, and banknotes made from polypropylene film further expand the broad application spectrum of this polyolefin.

PS (Polystyrene) is a widely used standard plastic found in numerous everyday applications. The material is offered as PS-GP (General Purpose PS, transparent) and HI-PS (High Impact PS, natural). Another modification is expanded PS (EPS), which is utilized in the construction industry for sound and thermal insulation. The material combines high rigidity with chemical resistance to low-concentration acids, bases, fats, and oils. Thanks to its balanced properties, this thermoplastic is frequently encountered in the packaging industry. Perhaps the most well-known application for polystyrene is the classic yogurt cup. However, the material is also used in the electrical industry for housing components.

Acrylate Styrene Acrylonitrile (ASA) is a terpolymer with properties similar to ABS. The incorporation of a special rubber during ASA production provides the material with long-lasting UV and weather resistance. Consequently, its high impact strength, color stability, and gloss properties are maintained even under prolonged exposure to environmental conditions in outdoor applications. Its high-quality surface finish often eliminates the need for costly painting. ASA exhibits very good chemical resistance and is typically used for injection molding applications. The material is employed in construction, for electrical appliances such as coffee makers and microwaves, for sporting goods, and in exterior automotive components.

Polyethylene (PE) belongs to the polyolefin group, characterized by its semi-crystalline and non-polar nature. It is by far the most widely used standard plastic globally, primarily utilized for packaging applications. This lightweight yet robust polymer exhibits high chemical resistance, excellent electrical insulation properties, and superior sliding behavior. PE is odorless and virtually unbreakable.
