Zhejiang Petrochemical ZA0210 ABS

Product Overview

This product is manufactured by Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co., Ltd. (ZPC) and belongs to general-purpose acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) injection molding grade resin. The product appearance consists of uniform natural-color spherical plastic pellets, free of impurities and agglomerates. ZA0210 is a medium-to-high melt flow general-purpose ABS grade featuring a stable melt flow range, making it a mainstream baseline ABS category with steady supply in the Asia-Pacific market that balances rigidity and room-temperature impact resistance. This raw material is compatible with conventional injection molding processes and is widely applied in consumer electronics, small home appliances, daily plastic products, and other fields.

Features & Benefits

• Medium-to-high balanced flowability with a melt mass-flow rate range of 18~24 g/10 min, adapting well to thin-walled and complex structural injection-molded parts with favorable mold-filling performance, reducing appearance defects such as short shots and flow marks.

• Balanced mechanical properties featuring stable rigidity and room-temperature notched impact resistance, providing favorable drop and knock resistance for finished products to meet general structural component requirements.

• Controlled molding shrinkage range of 0.4%~0.7% with minimal post-molding dimensional fluctuation, facilitating batch production tolerance control.

• Ample thermal processing stability window with a Vicat softening temperature of 95.4 ℃, making it resistant to thermal decomposition under conventional injection molding operating conditions, and natural-color products are less prone to black specs.

• Excellent baseline surface properties, making the substrate suitable for secondary surface treatment processes such as painting, silk-screen printing, and hot stamping, with stable coating adhesion performance.

• Stable supply availability, serving as a scaled mass-production general-purpose ABS grade capable of continuously supporting large-scale, routine production and procurement demands.

Applications

1. Consumer Electronics Industry: Charger housings, router shells, computer mice, small audio/video equipment enclosures, and other medium-to-small exterior structural components.

2. Small Home Appliances Field: Humidifier housings, small fan casings, hair dryer parts, and internal support components for small kitchen appliances.

3. Daily Plastic Goods: Storage box casings, stationery accessories, toy main bodies, and cosmetic tool shells.

4. Automotive Interior Small Components: Vehicle-mounted small appliance housings, interior decorative cover plates, and non-high-temperature storage compartment structural accessories.

5. General Industrial Parts: Instrument housings, small equipment operation panels, and standard plastic brackets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What drying procedures are recommended for Zhejiang Petrochemical ZA0210 ABS prior to injection molding?

A: ABS material is hygroscopic; it is recommended to dry at 80~85 ℃ for 2~4 hours with a material layer thickness controlled within 30 mm. Adequate drying effectively eliminates silver streaks and bubble defects in molded products. For products with high appearance requirements, utilizing the upper limit of the drying duration is recommended.

Q2: How should ZA0210 ABS be differentiated in production selection from lower-flow ABS grades produced by the same manufacturer?

A: ZA0210 features higher flowability, making it suitable for thin-walled parts and multi-rib complex molds with lower injection pressure requirements. Lower-flow ABS exhibits higher melt strength, rendering it more suitable for thick-walled, large parts and products with higher warpage control demands, though with relatively longer molding cycles.

Q3: What international compliance standards can ZA0210 ABS satisfy? Does it possess relevant certificates?

A: This grade achieves a UL 94 HB flammability rating, and its base resin complies with RoHS and REACH regulatory guidelines. Purchasers can request original manufacturer COA, TDS, and MSDS documents from suppliers to support export qualification reviews.

Q4: Can ZA0210 ABS be blended with recycled ABS for use?

A: Provided that product performance specifications permit, compliant recycled ABS can be blended in appropriate proportions; conducting small-batch trial molding tests is recommended to verify that impact strength, appearance color, and dimensional stability meet terminal standards before proceeding with mass production.
