In amorphous acrylic polymers, ABS is an opaque material made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Heat changes its properties. When ABS plastic reaches a certain temperature, thermoplastics will become liquid (221 degrees Fahrenheit) (also known as a “glass transition”). Heat them to their melting point, cool them, then reheat them won’t degrade them significantly. Thermoplastics like ABS liquefy as opposed to burning, making them easy to inject and recycle. It is not possible to get a thermoset plastic hot more than once (which is usually done during injection molding). As…
