Poor thermal stability of transparent ABS (methyl methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) during processing
Problem Phenomenon
Transparent ABS (methyl methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) has poor thermal stability during processing; performance decreases significantly after repeated processing, with severe degradation
Cause Analysis
Insufficient antioxidant addition or improper type
Processing temperature too high (exceeding the 210-250°C upper limit) accelerates degradation
Excessive screw shear accelerates thermo-oxidative degradation
Regrind ratio too high, degradation accumulates
Antioxidants fail at high temperature
Solution
Increase antioxidant addition amount
Reduce processing temperature to a reasonable value of 210-250°C
Reduce screw rotation speed to reduce shear
Reduce regrind ratio ≤15%
Select antioxidants with good high-temperature stability
Key Takeaway
Thermal stability needs to start from antioxidants and temperature control
