ABS is bought closer to the way an engineering polymer is bought than a commodity one. General-purpose injection and extrusion grades are the volume, but a large part of the market is specialty: plating grades formulated so the surface takes chrome, flame-retardant grades carrying a UL rating that a substitute will not, high-heat grades for under-bonnet and appliance work, and transparent grades. Substituting across those families produces a part that looks right and fails the qualification.
Natural and black are the two colours that trade freely, and colour is a real price axis here rather than a preference — a natural lot can be coloured to anything, a black one cannot. Anything reprocessed brings the questions that come with the applications ABS is used in: whether the feedstock was painted or metallised, since automotive and electronics scrap frequently is, and whether it has been separated from the PC/ABS blends that sit alongside it in the same waste stream.
ABS is hygroscopic, so ask how a lot has been stored and packaged. Wet material streaks and splays regardless of what the certificate says.
Nothing is listed in this category at the moment. That changes daily — stock here is spot material, not a catalogue.
Post what you are looking for on the Wanted board and sellers come to you: grade, tonnage, where you want it delivered. It is free, and it is public, so a trader holding the material can find it without an account.
ABS grades and pricing explained: impact, flow, plating and flame-retardant grades — what the grades and the numbers mean, and what to check before you commit to a lot.
