ABS regenerated black grained cut to size

ABS sheets made from recycled material with one-sided grain in the blank

Our black ABS sheets made from reclaimed material with surface grain on one side are available cut to size in thicknesses from 1mm-10mm. The solid sheets are fully dyed to ensure that the colour of the surfaces and cut edges are identical. This is a deep, rich black similar to RAL 9005 (jet black). The panels have a medium grain on one side, reminiscent of the texture of leather. The other side has a smooth surface.

ABS Regenerated grained cut to size - buy cheap online

Thanks to our cutting service, it is very easy to order millimetre-precise cuts of our ABS sheets made of black regenerate with one-sided grain. Simply select your required sheet thickness from the available thicknesses 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 8mm or 10mm. Then enter your desired length and width in millimetres (not centimetres) for the desired blanks. The maximum size of the blanks is 2000mm for the length and 1000mm for the width. The minimum values are 30mm in each case. Last but not least, you enter the quantity. The price calculation is carried out in real time and automatically takes into account quantity discounts depending on the total weight of your configuration, so that you always receive the lowest price.

Thanks to constant stocking of our ABS recycling sheets, which we always buy in very large quantities, you benefit not only from a very favourable purchase price, but also from very fast delivery times. Your order is usually processed on the next working day, so you can expect delivery of your blanks within a few days. Depending on the size and total weight of your order, delivery will be made by parcel service or freight forwarder.

Properties of the black ABS regenerates with surface graining

ABS Regenerate is made from 100% recycled ABS plastic.

Like our ABS sheets made from virgin material, our ABS regenerates are characterised by high impact strength. Properties such as material hardness or good chemical resistance are also comparable with sheets extruded from virgin material. ABS has very good resistance to alkalis, acids, fuels, oils and greases, but is not resistant to solvents. The temperature range in which the black ABS regenerate with grain can be used extends from -10°C to +90°C. It should be mentioned, however, that ABS is not UV-resistant and is therefore not suitable for outdoor use. As an alternative, we recommend our black ASA/ABS sheets with grain on one side where the grained ASA surface is resistant to UV radiation. However, these are not made from recycled material.

From a business and ecological point of view, regenerates have a clear advantage

From a business perspective, the positive aspects of recycled ABS sheets with one-sided grain are certainly the significantly lower price for a comparable cut of ABS sheets made from virgin material. From an ecological point of view, however, the use of regenerates means that the extraction of the required raw materials can be dispensed with, as these are completely contained in the recycled material. In addition, plastic waste is sensibly reused through recycling, which again has a positive effect on our environment.

Thanks to millimetre-precise cutting, even less plastic waste is produced

Thanks to our cutting service, you will receive your ABS sheets in black made of regenerated material cut exactly to your specifications with millimetre precision. This means you can use your sheets directly and no longer have to cut them to the desired size yourself. This also means that you do not have any waste that would have to be disposed of.

Application examples for ABS sheets made from regenerated material

Regenerates consist of pure ABS and can therefore be used in a similar way as ABS from virgin material. Restrictions only apply to thermoforming and very high demands on the appearance of the surface. Despite pure recycled material, it can never be 100% ruled out that small amounts of foreign plastics are contained.

In the automotive industry, ABS is used as a regenerated material, for example, for dashboard supports or door panels. Covers in the engine compartment or on the underbody can also be produced excellently from ABS regenerates. The inexpensive recycled material is also an excellent alternative as a workpiece carrier or as shelves for toolboxes.

In apparatus engineering, the impact-resistant plastic sheets are often used for substructures or covers. The grained surface in particular makes it possible to create visually appealing housings for machines and small electrical appliances.

ABS is also a perfect impact protection for walls and vehicles. Especially in large industrial halls or in the garage at home, plastic panels made of virgin material can be dispensed with without further ado. Here, ABS Regenerate is a cost-effective substitute with a comparable protective effect.

• ABS Regenerate with medium grain is excellent for housings and covers of electrical appliances
• Reclaimed ABS panels are excellent as impact-resistant bases on workbenches
• The grained panels are well suited for impact-resistant wall cladding with an attractive appearance
• As a backing material for thermoformed parts made from virgin material, reclaimed material is a cost-effective alternative
• and many more

Processing of the grained ABS sheets made of regenerated material

ABS regenerate cutting

ABS Regenerates can be cut in many ways. Sawing or milling can be done with the same tools as used for cutting wood. It should be noted, however, that the speed should not be set too high so that the heat generated does not cause the chips to melt into the cut edge. Laser cutting with a CO2 laser system is also possible. However, the cutting speed depends on the laser power and the strength. The same applies to water jet cutting. Due to the water pressure, this method is usually only suitable for thicker panels.

ABS regenerate drilling

Holes for screwing the black panels can be drilled with a conventional cordless screwdriver. Break-outs are not to be expected even when drilling freehand due to the typical properties of ABS. We recommend using a metal drill for perfect drill holes.

ABS regenerate bonding

ABS Regenerate can be bonded just as excellently as conventional ABS sheets. ABS owes this to its poor resistance to solvents. With our special ABS adhesive ABSprofi from our own brand S-Polybond, permanent bonding using the cold welding method is quick and easy. Flat bonding, for example as wall cladding on plaster, concrete or with wood, is best implemented with an assembly adhesive such as our Parabond 600 in black. Welding with an ABS welding rod is an alternative to bonding with an adhesive, but is only suitable for welding ABS together, regardless of whether it is ABS from recycled material or new.

ABS regenerate thermoforming

Our black ABS sheets made from reclaimed material are made from pure recycled material and yet it can never be completely ruled out that foreign plastics are contained in the sheet. These inclusions could become noticeable when thermoforming the sheets. We therefore advise against using these plastic sheets for deep-drawn parts and instead recommend our black ABS sheets cut to size. If a surface grain is necessary, we recommend our ASA/ABS sheets black grained. Both sheets are 100% virgin material for perfect thermoforming results.

Note: Should you nevertheless use the regenerates for thermoforming, this is done under exclusion of the warranty.

Disposal of the grained ABS sheets made from regenerated material

ABS sheets made from recycled material can be recycled almost as often as desired. The prerequisite for the production of new ABS recycled sheets is separation by type. Residues of ABS regenerates may be collected together with residues of ABS sheets from virgin material. Other plastics, on the other hand, must not be mixed in order to avoid inclusions or damage to the extrusion line. The colour plays only a subordinate role, as regenerates are usually dyed black. The recycling code for ABS is 07 (Other), which also applies to many other plastics.

Scraps of our ABS regenerates can be disposed of in the recycling bin or the recycling bag. Larger quantities can even be sold to interested extruders or recycling companies, provided they are collected absolutely sorted by type.

NOTE: The recycled panels made of black ABS are delivered without a protective film. Due to the grained surface, small scratches are not noticeable, but care should be taken when processing the panels.
