12x18 Black ABS Thermoform Plastic Sheets


Photo of Black and White ABS Plastic Sheets Due to its low cost and superior physical properties, ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadine-Styrene) is one of the most popular thermoform plastics used for vacuum forming.  ABS produces detailed parts that are tougher and more rigid than other plastics.  It is manufactured in both black and white with a “haircell” texture on one side that helps resist and hide scratches, making ABS a popular choice for parts that need to stand up to heavy use.
