Polycarbonate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene blend (PC+ABS) combines the properties of PC and ABS, that is, the high processibility of ABS with the excellent mechanical properties and the impact and heat resistance of PC. The ratio of the two components affects the heat resistance. The blend exhibits excellent flow characteristics.

Injection molding processing information
- Drying
- Drying is required prior to processing. Moisture content should be less than 0.04 % to ensure stable processing parameters. Drying at 90°C–110°C [194°F–230°F] for 2 to 4 hours is recommended.
- Melt Temperature
- 230°C–300°C [446°F–572°F]
- Mold Temperature
- 50°C–100°C [122°F–212°F]
- Material Injection Pressure
- Part dependent
- Injection Speed
- As high as possible
